Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

In this book, Karana, a girl from Ghalas-at. One day a ship with the red sails they were called the Aleuts. When the Aleuts were about to leave they got into a big battle. After that battle another ship came to take their tribe to America. When the boat left for America they forgot Karana's brother. She went to save him but the ship would not come back. Soon after that he died and her life on the island becomes a big adventure.

It is really interesting and there is always something happening in every chapter.

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