As the only deaf student in her middle school, Iris feels like a fish out of water. Her only friend at school is her deaf interpreter. As a result, she often explodes and lands in the principal’s office. At home she finds solace in repairing old radios, a strange hobby for someone who can’t hear. When her science teacher introduces the class to the story of Blue 55, a whale who seems to be a loner because “his song” is at a frequency different from other whales, Iris feels a connection and comes up with the idea to create a song for Blue 55 at his frequency. But how will she get her song played where Blue 55 can hear it? And will it make a difference? Students who loved Wonder, Fish in a Tree and Counting by 7’s will be attracted to Iris’ story.
