Abid'allah, a Bedouin boy, was left deaf after falling out of a tree at the age of five. He became a mute loner, who spent much of his time swimming in the Red Sea. One day a female dolphin joined him - and from then on never left his side. This was remarkable, for dolphins usually prefer to live in groups. Day after day, Abid'allah swam and dived with his new friend, fished with her, and grew up alongside her. Then, something even more miraculous took place: Abid'allah began to talk. Their story has attracted scientists, film crews and journalists from around the world, but this is the only book to explore this remarkable friendship.
