Song for a Whale

Grades 5 - 8. 12-year-old Iris, born deaf, is a genius at technology. Since she’s the only deaf girl in school and feels cut off from her peers, she spends her time fixing radios—something she can do just by feeling the vibrations! When Iris learns about a real whale who has trouble communicating with other whales through his own songs, and therefore has no pod of his own, Iris comes up with a way to sing a song suited just for him. Follow Iris as she goes on a journey to discover herself, connects with another being that is disconnected, and ultimately find her place in life.
