There is story I remember reading as a child about a seal who is adopted by a human and lives in his home and eventually learns to “talk”, or at least mimic human speech patterns like a parrot, and eventually ended up living at the New England Aquarium. So while at Penury Hall, I picked this book up and thought it was the same story, and everything was similar to what I remembered except that Andre didn’t talk. So what did I read in school as a kid? A fictionalization of Andre’s story? A story of another seal adopted by humans that ended up at NEAq? Was it really written as I remember it?

Whole different story now that I'm an assistant Wildlife Rehabber.
It does seem, the way the book reads, that Andre was just special. And a rare case. I'd like to find more information about him.
The only thing I found difficult was that although I've lived in Maine my whole life, I don't live on the coast, and there are a few phrases and words he uses that I had to look up. ( )
