I really liked this book! At first I was kind of freaked out cause she had a tattoo, but she was a really cool character! Her drawings sounded really pretty, especially the one on her bedroom wall! And when Sam got mad, I. freaked. Out. I didn't want him to be mad, and was so glad that they made up in the end! I also loved the fact that she was really into dolphins. And she was a little different, and her Halloween costume sounded cute, I would have liked to see her dressed up in it. Same with her dress, glad she changed! And I liked how in the end it worked out for her. Travis creeped me out :) Honestly I'm not sure I would read this book again. There were some very funny moments. There were some very relatable moments that made me laugh out loud. The bad: the dolphin thing was just WAY too overbearing, by the end of this book you will never want to hear the word pod AGAIN. Eventually with the dolphins and Jane’s lack of a backbone when it comes to going for the things she wants you just want to bang your head against a wall. Her relationship with her overbearing mother was frustrating because when the mother explains why she is the way she is, she just goes you know about my past experience and then that’s it. Even if Jane knew why her mother was the way she was the readers don't get to hear or understand this character. Oh and Jane’s connection to dolphins was never explained in any way. All the way through the book she says she thinks that she was either a dolphin in a past life or would be one in a future one. I’m sorry but that was ridiculous you can’t have a character with this unique ability and just not explain why she has it. I was glad when I finished this book.
What do You think about Dolphin Girl (2011)?
Was a cute story. I think I teenage girls will like this book.
