For me, I know that books in verse read with my eyes do not work, but on audio, they can be a delight. And this book is a delight for many reasons.
This is a book about a girl with cystic fibrosis, but it is also a book about sisters, about dolphins, and about being separated from those who "get" you. The parallelism between the dolphin being separated from her pod and Penny being separated from other people with CF was a powerful device for telling the story.
This book encompasses so well the encompassing nature of disability but also how it doesn't have to define everything about who you are. You can tell this is written by someone who has CF because it is written with such heart.
Thank you Netgalley and Harper Kids for the gifted book!
