Came across my 2003 school reading log, so figured I should enter these books in too. In the words of my ten-year-old self, this book was: "Really good"

I read this when I was younger, but I do not remember this book!

This book started off average but I really enjoyed the 2nd half. I learnt a lot about how dolphins can help people who have autism, which isn't what I expected to learn from a kids story book. You can tell how researched and well thought out these books are. Props to the author

I enjoyed reading this, think its a very suitable book for teen girls. I've learned some interesting things about dophins and their interaction with human "friends."

Another really good series of books by Lucy Daniels, I was completely in love with these books when I was younger. This series I particularly likes as it was Dolphin based ands they used to be my favourite animal when I was younger.

If you like animals you cannot help but love these books when you are a child.

Touching the Waves is the 2nd book in the Dolphin Diaries Series. in this book Jody goes to Florida to visit a dolphin research center and saves a dolphin from a net and worries that shell never see the dolphin again. even though this book is fiction you could use this book in a science class when you talk about mammals and the ocean.

My favorite part was when Rosie was freed and healthy again. the worst part was when Rosie was caught in the net that people left laying around a key where no one lives. My favorite character was Jody. She helped the dolphin. The worst character was the person that polluted the key. Auryn 11 years old , 2014
