Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

Karana, the main character, lived in Ghalas-at. She was about 12 years old when she was left on the island with her younger brother that died 2 days after the ship left. Also, Karna has quite a few pets. She has a dog, 2 birds, and maybe some dolphins. Karana was finally rescued by men and a priest and died from a stomach disease in 1853.

I thought this book was an awesome book. It is actually my favorite book. I loved the characters.

4 stars - It was a great book and I recommend it to others.
