Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

A long time ago some Indians were taken off an island by Americans. One of the Indians was left behind--an Indian named Karana. She was stranded on the Island of the Blue Dolphins for 18 years. She befriended many wild animals and faced many dangers. Each day she'd look into the open ocean and wonder... will I ever be rescued?

I thought the book was amazing! It had so much good description! I could see it all happening so vividly.

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