“A moving and unforgettable story.” This is the review from ALA Booklist about The Island of Blue Dolphins. In 1835 an Indian girl named Karana was left on the Island of Blue Dolphins alone after her tribe was rescued by white men and taken off the island. The Indian girl was left to survive on her own until she was rescued 18 years later.

I highly recommend this book to my peers because of the girl’s desperate determination to survive and to be reunited with her tribe. It is a story about loss, grief, survival, and hope that encourages readers to be strong
