Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell, Book Review by Alexandra

I liked the Island of the Blue Dolphins book. It was very descriptive about the island and what was there and the author kept it in suspense. Also, the book told how a girl survived on an island by herself. This is why I liked this book.

The reason I chose this book is it was the latest book I have read. It was easy to remember all of the details of this book. It was also interesting how a girl our age survived on an island by herself and how she managed to get through it.

The summary of this book is a girl, her family, and the villagers live on an island shaped like a dolphin.  Soon, an Aleut ship came to their island to hunt otter. They get in a fight and the Aleuts end up killing the islander’s leader. A new leader is selected and he goes to find a new island for them. The ship comes back for them and accidentally leaves Karana’s brother behind on the island. What will Karana do?

****4 stars.
