This is the best book ever!! But I don't think I could've done what she did.
I have read this book so many times. I first read it in elemntary school, and now my seven year old brother wants me to read it to him. Karana is a very strong young woman. I would never be able to go through what she did.



Meanwhile, 'Dolphin' --unsung, neglected--only because its not got a story which would give enough work to all the CGI and FX companies which make Hollywood movies these days.


This is a terrific story about courage, self-reliance and survival. It reminds me of Armstrong Sperry's 'Call it Courage".
What I really love about "The Island of the Blue Dolphins" is that the hero is female- what a great role-model/inspiration for teenage girls (and boys for that matter(.


Agreed. Really demarcates clearly, what utter garbage 'Twilight' is, by comparison. Makes you wonder.
