Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

There is this girl, Karana, that got left on the island with her brother. The next few days Karana's brother dies. Karana was scared about what would happen to her, but she managed to survive. Some white men came a long time after Karna got left and they took her to California and she died two weeks later.

I thought it was exciting and sad at different parts in the book. It also seemed scary too because I know it's a true story.

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