Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jessica M.

I did not really like this book because it bored me half to death. I don't know why though; I think it's just that I did not get into it.

The story is about a girl named Karana who is about to go on a ship with her people. When she finds out her brother, Ramo, is not on the ship she jumps off of it. Then, she is stuck on the island and her brother dies.

Now, what was the point of going after her brother if he was just going to get killed by dogs? Anyway, Karana is stuck on the island for years and years and goes on stupid, little hunting adventures. This eventually leads up to an ending that is unbelievably dumb, that it left me wondering why I ever read the stupid book in the first place.

This was the dumbest book I ever read. When it got interesting, it became boring again. I can't believe this book won the Newberry Award! I am saying DON'T READ IT!!!!!
