Description: Expelled from high school in Los Angeles, 15-year-old Alyssa is forced to live with her father, a crusty dolphin research scientist in the Bahamas who has no time in his life for an unruly teenager. After their personalities clash, Alyssa feels like a prisoner on the isolated island--but when she forms an unexpected friendship with an orphaned wild dolphin, she finds that she and her special friend have the power to bring hope to the impoverished people of her new home.
