About this audiobook
Join twins Mia and Maddie and their sidekick little sister, LuLu, as they travel the country finding adventure, mystery, and sometimes mischief along the way. Together with their famous mother, singer Gloria Glimmer, and their slightly wacky nanny Miss Twist, the sisters learn lessons about being good friends, telling the truth, and a whole lot more.
In A Dolphin Wish a three-night stop in the city of San Diego seems like it might be just the break the girls need—lovely weather and great sights to see. That is until they hear animal handlers at “Watery World” talking about the trouble they’ve been having keeping the animals in their habitats. Mia and her sisters cannot resist a challenge and they talk Miss Twist into another visit to the educational amusement park to search for clues as to what or who is helping the animals escape.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is fun and my kids love it . They have listened to it 5 times.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I LOVED it!! It was a very very good book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is book two in the Glimmer girls series. It is a family where the mother is a Christian Singer who performs all over the world. The family, three sisters Maddie, Mia, and Lulu are clever and fun yet have normal sibling issues. This is a Christian series, but does not over emphasize it. There is a mention of praying, asking God for signals to show what he wants you to do as well as talking to him and wanting to do things for the right reasons.
This time the family is in San Diego for another performance by their mother and her band, and there is another mystery that needs solving. After Maddie solved the mystery in the first book, Mia is a little jealous in this one. She really wants to solve the mystery at the sea world type theme park and has a bit of a one track mind during parts of the story. It was a fun story and kept me reading to see who was the culprit. The descriptions made me want to visit the theme park they went to, it sounded amazing and the rides seemed to be a lot of fun. A Dolphin Wish is the perfect next chapter in the Glimmer girls series. Overall this is a great read for young girls, a little adventure, a little mystery, a little family dramatics, some good Christian morals and learning a little about another country. A great addition to a local library and definitely in Christian Schools, churches etc.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall, these were cute books for young girls who like mysteries. They might read a bit young for the upper end of the target age range—my favorite 7th grader would be impatient with them.These books have two goals—entertainment and encouragement to Christian girls. They do well on both fronts. The family dynamic is good, with solid parents who obviously love their children, and sisters with a strong bond.While the publishers’ blurbs describe the nanny, Miss Julia, as “wacky,” I really didn’t see that. She is responsible and solid, while still being fun. If fun=wacky, then I guess she’s wacky.My biggest objection is that the girls, despite REPEATED admonitions from every grownup, keep running off. And in a huge metropolis like London, that’s a big scary problem. I’ve hoofed it around London alone—in my 30s—and it’s not for the faint of heart. I can’t imagine even a daredevil 10-year-old doing that. It’s a typical trope in kids’ mysteries like these.And these are Christian girls who want to be obedient and do the right thing—and then they defy the adults. It just doesn’t mesh for me. As a parent, this is the part of the books that I really disliked. Just as much as I dislike stories in which the adults never listen to the children, I dislike stories in which the children keep thinking they are the ONLY people around who can take care of the [whatever the Maguffin is]. My eight-year-old couldn't finish the stories. The fact that the girls were disobeying and putting themselves in danger made her too anxious to press through to find out how the mysteries were resolved.Possible Objectionable Material:Children disobeying and running off. (Obviously.) Discussion about God and faith—it’s teachy, but not preachy, but if you don’t want your kids reading about religion, bypass this. Who Might Like These Books:The younger end of the target age range. Children who like mysteries. Christians/people of faith. Probably not of great interest to boys—there aren’t many male characters of focus besides the dad. Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARCs.
