Has anyone read this book? It gets very depressing at the end but it lightens up. I loved it. It is by Madiline Le'Engle.
In it Vicky Austin, a 16 year-old girl is living staying on an island with her parents to spend time with her grandfather who is dying of Lukemia. At the same time her friend Adam is working with dolphins. Vicky spens a lot of time with the dolphins and with Adam. There is a certain dolphin named Basil who Adam has sort of a special conection with. When her grandfather is in the hospital there is a girl who's mother asked her to watch that suddenly has a sesure (sp?) and dies. Vicky is horrifyed by this and her grandfather's death and must struggle with depression.
I won't tell the ending because the ending is really great and I don't want to spoil it.
