A ten year old girl named Miho, is sent to Japan to live with an uncle that she has never met... She is sent because her parents, both whale and dolphin scientists got lost at sea, and suspected to be dead. She inherited her tall figure, and her green eyes from her father, an American; and her black silk like hair came from her Japanese mother.
In Japan; instead of being both American and Japanese, like she was in Alaska, she is Gaijin, which in Japanese means, stranger.
She and her Ojisan, (uncle) go and stay for three days at Oisan's old house, which is close to the sea, which is the most important thing for Miho. She befriends a group of dolphins, Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, a shorter name for them is the Lags.
This is a very short summary that I have managed to conjure up; for a better summary, and some fantastic books, read the Gaia girls books!
I love this series, and it has been like you are really there, watching it all happen...
I recommend this series to anyone who loves nature and can stand not being able to write like that yourself! (Joke)
