She brings in the talent of the school band to create a song only a whale could love, and beseeches her parents to allow her to travel to Alaska where biologists are hoping to tag the animal. She becomes intent on connecting with Blue-55 and creating a song he will recognize so he knows someone is out there thinking of him. Iris has a knack for the science of sound, having developed a talent for fixing up old radios from the neighborhood junk shop. Iris can relate – she was born deaf, and she also hasn’t quite connected to most of her family and peers. Blue-55 is a hybrid breed, and sings a unique song that other whales he meets cannot understand due to the unique frequency of his tone. But Iris’s connection to these creatures truly clicks when her teacher shares a video about a very unique whale, called Blue-55 by scientists, sometimes called the loneliest whale. The day she was born, a whale beached itself in their hometown, and her family named her the same name scientists gave the whale, as its life left the world when hers began. Iris has always had a slight connection to whales, because she was named in honor of one.
