Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

It is a book about an island girl somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The girl's name was Karana. After jumping off a rescue boat to save her brother, Ramo, who later died because of a pack of wild dogs. She lived off the land and her own resourcefulness for around 12 years before being rescued by otter hunters.

It truly wasn't that good. I would rather recommend Clifford than Island of the Blue Dolphins. Though I would recommend the Hatchet series.

2 stars - It was ok.
