Island of the Blue Dolphins

Reader reviewed by Allyssa

I read this book in like fourth grade. My thoughts on it is still the same as back then. It's a cute book. It's not AMAZING, but it's unique and definitely worth a read.


The main character was basically raised by dolphins. Then one day, humans find her and take her from her dolphin world and try to 'civilize' her, until she knows her true human ways. This book is about her struggles and successes as trying to transform into the 'dolphin girl' into a human being.
