Goodreads Summary:
In the Pacific, there is an island that looks like a big fish sunning itself in the sea. Around it blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea birds abound. Karana is the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Hers is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.
Review:
I honestly can't remember if I read this in school, but one day my friend and I were talking about classics and this was mentioned. So I decided to read this. After reading it though it seems somewhat familiar. It is an epic story of survival, and something that I think everyone should read in school. The writing is simple and can most likely be read by most of the younger audiences. I find it funny though how when the people die, no emotion from me what so ever. When the wolf dies it was like instant waterfall falling down my face. But ya I totally think that you should read this book if you haven't yet.
