Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

This is a story of a tribe where a ship comes for them but Karana's brother is being left, so the sister jumps off the ship for him. So she stayed with him on the island until the wild dogs got Ramo and ate him. She lives on the island for eighteen years by herself. She meets lots of animal friends on the way until a ship comes to get otter but finds her and sends her to Santa Barbara.

It was a great detailed book that has a great story.
