Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

A girl who lives on an island and these people come and ask if they can hunt otter. The king of the tribe says they can but they have to pay them. So they make a deal but at the end when they are done they don't pay them. Then a fight breaks out and kills almost all the warriors and then the new leader goes to America. Then he sends American's to get them. When they come and then they forget Karana's brother and she jumps out to get him. He is killed by wild dogs and Karana is left to fend for herself.

I really liked it. A thumb's up.

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