Island of the Blue Dolphins

Might wanna read this novel first before you answer that. A great YA novel with a really strong female protagonist. But also a really honest look at what it's like to be separated from the rest of humanity, something teens often dream about but I doubt most would really want. Honestly.

We just read this book in school. I love this book because it was a well-written story. I loved Karana in the book. She, I believe, was the one who told the story. It was definatly a good story. The author is also very talented. I recomend you read some of their other books. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially someone who loves book written by very talented authors.

This is a great book! It keeps you reading for hours and hours. It's about a girl who gets left behind on an island. She's left with nothing except her brother, but soon she loses him too. She faces many challenges and problems, but she always pulls through. On the island , there were wolves and she had to lean how to protect herself from them too. She pulls through wonderfully. This book gives you courage to face every challenge that comes your way. Its the story of friendship, sorrow, joy, and courage. I reccommend this book to evryone.

This book makes you think. If you have a short attention span, well, this book isn't for you. This book is a simple story of a girl who loses her family, is stranded on an island, and must learn to survive. She learns to develop to the land and the hardships, makes friends with animals, and learns more, in general, about herself. I thought it was a good book...everyone I have asked likes it. But check it out yourself...you just might be surprised.
