Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which dolphin relatives usually swim beside Mila in the ocean?

Answer: her dolphin mother and aunt

When Mila was with her dolphin family, her mother and aunt were right there the whole time to make sure she was always safe. They could not protect her, however, when the humans came to take her away.

2. What was the name of Mila's friend who was also a feral child?

Answer: Shay

Shay was later handed to Doctor Troy from Doctor Beck because she was not making very good progress. Mila was the only feral child ever to have made any kind of progress.

3. Who was Doctor Beck's son?

Answer: Justin

Justin often visited the "hump" with Mila. Mila believed that "The Hump" sounded like the ocean but the sound really came from the cars on the highway.

4. What instrument did Mila learn to play?

Answer: the recorder

Mila loved music and she played it all the time. When Shay broke her recorder, she was devastated.

5. Why did Doctor Beck lock the doors?

Answer: Mila had escaped in the night to swim in the Charles River

When Mila believed Sandy to be in trouble, she escaped in the middle of the night to save her. Mila swam in the Charles River, happy to be back in the water. When the government found out, they ordered Doctor Beck to lock the doors to Mila's room.

6. What article of clothing of Mila's did Shay take with her when she went away to be with a new family?

Answer: boots

Mila had let Shay try on her boots that felt as if they were made of dolphin skin. When Shay left with Mila's boots, Mila was broken hearted because the boots had reminded her of home.

7. Who narrates the story?

Answer: Mila

Mila begins by creatively describing her dolphin home. The next chapter is printed in huge font with choppy sentences while Mila is still learning how to speak and write. As the story progresses, Mila's narrative becomes easier to understand and more descriptive.

8. What is Mr. Aradondo's occupation?

Answer: janitor

Mr. Aradondo was afraid of Mila. He would never talk to her until... (look to the next question)

9. Who is Mr. Aradondo?

Answer: No relation at all to Mila

Mr Aradondo reminds Mila of her grandfather, but is not related to her. Mila remembered his face when he looked over her when she was sick. She spoke to him and said, "Abuelito." They then remembered each other.

10. Who let Mila go back to the dolphins?

Answer: Justin

Justin was very kind hearted and felt that Mila would benefit most from returning to her ocean home. He was the only one who understood her enough to let her go.
