One of my all-time favorite books! I read it a bunch of times as a child, though I haven't read it in a few years now. Very moving and beautiful story.
I did like it. Read it in I think 6th grade, and still have my copy of it.
I read it in sixth grade as well, and remember absolutely loving it. At the time, I never knew that there was a sequel, but the element of surviving and carving out a life for yourself on a lonely island fascinated me.
yeah, someone on here just recently told me about it, so I'm excited to read it, too!http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30...
thank you!I'm so going to read this!!!
well, let me know if it's any good! :)have any of you guys read any of scott o'dell's other books?
no i actually haven't. i don't even know of any other books by him.
I remember how much I adored this book when I read it in sixth grade. I got to watch my daughter's face light up with the same kind of adoration when I read it to her when she was around the same age.
I love this book- if you enjoyed Shabanu, Julie Of The Wolves, Sole Survivor, or Hatchet, you'd probably like it.
I liked this book. It has the rare distinction of being one of the few books out there with an adventerous, self sufficient, female protagonist.
I absolutely loved this book and the sequel. I read them tons when I was a young girl. I am tempted to pick it up again to see if I would still enjoy it as much.
I loved all Scott O'dell books when I was a kid and still have all of them. I read them when I was in Middle school. Island of the Blue Dolphins was my favorite, but he has Historical Fiction books dealing with many topics from Pocahontas to translating the bible to English, to the Revolutionary War.
I don't remember, I read it when I was really young like 5 maybe.
I guess I'm in the minority because I read this book back in sixth grade and I really didn't like it.
OMG... There's a sequel?!!!!!!!!!Looking at the link right now....
I did like, it was interesting and fresh.
This book made me cry, it was really sad and scared me, i was in 4th grade and our class was reading it. It made me afraid that i would loose my brother. I didn't like it at all
I felt that same way when our class read it in 4th grade. Butit is still one of my favorite books all time
i liked it, its one of my favorites.
No, This is probably the worst book i've read so far. (and i read ALOTT!!!)
I loved this book, read it in grade school!

I read this book back in grade 4 and I really enjoyed it. It's been a really long time though.
i loved it!soooooo emotional,i had to cry,great book
i read it last year when i was in grade 4
It is a really memorable book. At the time, I wasn't sure why we harped on the story so much but it was really good, looking back on it.

I loved Island of the Blue Dolphins! I read it to my fourth grade class a few years ago, and they were mesmerized!
Read It In The Fifth Or Fourth Grade And i Enjoyed It.

Some one who finally agrees!
It was alright.....not good but not bad.

No way! It was a read-aloud in fourth grade and I thought it was awful.
I liked it for the atmosphere and writing style, but I was very disturbed, and kind of angry, about the fact that her little brother was killed and eaten by feral dogs, and then she befriended one of the dogs. It bothered me.
Scott O'Dell wrote great children books, I enjoy his works. Island of the Blue Dolphins is quite good, but so sad (the true life story behind it is also very sad).
This is a beautiful book. I never read it as a child, but my mom did and it was one of her favorites. She actually recommended it to me to read as an adult. I really enjoyed it.
I really liked it! Read it when I was 7 and again when I was 10!
My English teach in 3rd grade has us read this book. Then she moved to teaching the 6th grade and when I got there we read it again. I was so happy because I love this book!!!!
It was awesome! on my recommending list!
omfg! It is an amazing book, a Must-Read!
It kicks the living bejesus out of Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Game of Thrones... or any of today's other dingbat book trends.
This book is a classic! If you have not read this book you have not lived...I am not kidding. Feliks, you are totally right!!!!
I bawled my eyes out after reading that thing
