Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

Karana was a twelve year old girl living on the Island of the Blue Dolphins with her tribe. One afternoon white men came to take them to the mainland. Her brother Ramo was still on the island when the boat set off. She jumped off into the ocean to get her brothers. That is where the story begins.

The books was suspenseful and mind racking. This book was the ultimate survival story.

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