Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell

1961 Newbery Medal

The Aleuts come to an called San Nicholas Island where our main character, Karana, lives. She is the daughter of the chief of Ghalos-at. Throughout the book, she encounters many mental and physical problems. She makes friends with animals and is the most resourceful person you've seen.

This book is very detailed and interesting. I think everyone should try to read this book in your spare time.

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