Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

This book is about a girl who gets stranded on the island all alone after her brother died. Then she took a wild dog as a pet and named it Rounto. Then she built her own shelter and escape routes from the Alutes because they killed her father and many other people of her tribe. Then people came when she was many years older. She was taken to Santa Barbara and died 2 weeks later.

I thought it was very interesting and I thought it was full of action.

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