I was impressed by Iris and her skills at deconstructing and fixing old radios. It’s been a looong time since I’ve read anything Middle Grade, but this story really sucked me in. I picked up this book for the beautiful cover, but I decided to read it as soon as I learned that the main character is Deaf. Despite her parents’ refusal to understand, Iris manages to travel all the way to Alaska in search of one lonely whale, determined to let him know that he’s not alone. Using her wiz kid skills with electronics, she crafts a song at Blue’s frequency. When 12-year-old Iris learns about a whale called Blue 55, who can’t be understood by other whales because he sings at a different pitch, she’s drawn to help. While I am grateful for the opportunity to review, this in no way influences my opinion of the book.** “Sound can move anything if it’s strong enough.” **I received an ARC of this book through my work. Genre: Middle Grade Contemporary Diverse Rep: Deaf MC + side character of color My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.□
