The Dolphin People by Torsten Krol

4.0

A little heavy-handed with the overarching analogy, but a really compelling read. The protagonist is a 16-year-old German boy who, during the reign of the Nazis, finds himself stranded on an island with his new step-father, mother, younger brother, and the indigenous people (as well as a sociologist who has pretty much become a native himself). What follows is the Germans' quest to assimilate with the natives and, maybe, escape.

A unique, enjoyable read.
