"It's February 2014 in the seaport city of Sevastopol, Crimea. Sofiya Oleksandrivna only wants two things: to figure out a way to get Ilya Ilyich to stop bullying her, and to convince her mother to come back home. But as battleships come to populate the waters around their city, and Russian forces, including Ilya's father, start to make their presence known, an even greater threat takes over Sofiya's life. The only escape Sofiya has is the dolphinarium where her father is an expert trainer teaching sign language to a pod of dolphins. And now the Russian military has ordered the dolphinarium to hand over its animals for military use. As armed Russian troops invade Crimea, and conflict and tension continue to rise, Sofiya will do everything she can to keep her pod safe. And what she knows better than any of the soldiers occupying her city is that the most powerful force is communication. Based on the true events of the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea"-- Front jacket flap.
