Schneider Family Book Award-winning author Ginny Rorby has created a deeply moving and important story about love, freedom, and letting go. 

Adam's crazy happy around dolphins--as happy as he ever gets.

Lily loves her half brother, Adam, but his autism has taken over her life. Lily can't make friends or go out after school--caring for Adam has forced her to become as much mother as sister. All Lily wants is for her stepfather, Don, to acknowledge that Adam has a real issue, and to find some kind of porgram that can help him. Then maybe she can have a life of her own.

When Adam has the opportunity to meet a young dolphin that was recently brought into captivity, Adam and the dolphin--Nori--bond instantly. Adam's as happy as he's ever been, and Don thinks that this is the answer to Adma's problems.

Though Lily sees how much Adam loves Nor, she also knows deep down that the dolphin shouldn't spend the rest of her life in captivity, away from her own family. There's got to be another answer for Adma. Can Lily help Nori regain her freedom without betraying her family?
