1961 Newbery Medal
A girl named Karana and her tribe get attacked by the Aleuts and they killed most of her tribe in the beginning. White men came to save her tribe and take them to another country. But when the boat was leaving Karana's brother wasn't on the ship. He was still on the island. She jumped and swam to the island. Then her brother, Ramo, got killed by a pack of wild dogs. Then Karana had to live by herself until the white men came to bring her to where her family was.
I thought it was a great book due to the many adventures and surviving and gathering of food she had to do by herself.
4 stars - It was a great book and I recommend it to others.
