Audiobook recordings will be available.\nFrom fixing the class computer to repairing old radios\, twelve-year-old Iris is a tech genius.

If you’ve ever felt like no one was listening to you\, then you know how hard that can be. \nWhen she learns about Blue 55\, a real whale who is unable to speak to other whales\, Iris understands how he must feel. Then she has an idea: she should invent a way to “sing” to him! But he’s three thousand miles away. How will she play her song for him? \nClick here to learn more and register.
