Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

A girl named Karana and her tribe lived on an island off the California coast. One day the Aleuts came and before they started a battle over otter skin. Many people died but the Aleuts left. Her brother was left on the island when the white men saved their tribe. Karana jumped to save him. He ended up being killed by wild dogs and Karana finally got saved by the Santa Barbara missionaries but she died 2 weeks later due to her diet change.

I thought the book was good and the historical fiction of it was really great.

3 stars - It was a good book.
