Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

It is all about how at first man cames to the island hunting sea elephant. When they left they killed many people. The clan living on the Island of the Blue Dolphin decide to go to another land so the chief paddles to America. A while later, a ship comes. It is the white man. Everyone leaves but she realized that her brother was not on the boat. She jumped off and swam to shore. But her brother died from attack by wild dogs. Then she survived until the boat comes back.

It was excellent.

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