This ultimate test of skill, strength, and endurance leads him across the treacherous Atlantic Ocean's vast expanse, where a sudden change in wind throws him off balance and sends him overboard. Alone in the still, open sea, he struggles to keep from drowning, knowing it is a fight that he will eventually lose. But Conan has stumbled into the migratory path of a bottle-nosed dolphin named Aka and his tribe. In an exhilarating encounter, he senses Conan's plight, communicates with him, and works to keep him afloat and alive. A stirring adventure tale, Aka depicts the ancient history of dolphins, their extraordinary traits and abilities, and their eternal friendship with humans. ","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142855114992,"sku":"9781497611771","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497611771_p0.jpg?v=1763707427","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497611771","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
