false 233818 61 In the Pacific there is an island that looks like a big fish sunning itself in the sea. Around it blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea birds abound. Once, Indians also loved on the island. And when they left and sailed to the east, one young girl was left behind. Karana is the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Year after year she waited for a ship to rescue her. But while she waited, she kept herself alive by building shelter, making weapons, finding food, and fighting her enemies, the wild dogs. Hers is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery. 3215136 1960 Island of the Blue Dolphins total:23906|5:6769|4:8448|3:6405|2:1722|1:562| 23906 90858 27330 1720 3 7 false false Sat Oct 06 20:46:37 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 13 18:18:22 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 5 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Fri Jun 08 17:42:11 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 08 17:45:25 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 3 false false Sun Feb 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 12:13:47 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 06:13:20 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1992 Sun Jul 20 14:19:40 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 14:27:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Oct 19 11:03:32 -0700 2007 Mon Jan 14 17:22:38 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Mon Aug 27 09:58:16 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 15:28:48 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 15:36:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Feb 13 13:38:11 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 13:39:48 -0800 2008 5 1 false false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 25 15:12:11 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 30 13:33:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Nov 05 22:53:03 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 23:08:37 -0800 2007
