Book Review- Award Winner

From time to time I will list award winning books.
Chapter book for forth to seventh graders. "Island of the Blue Dophins," by Scott O'Dell. Winner of the Newbery Medal. A grand book. Story taken from an actual fact that an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone on an island. This book is about an Indian girl, Karana, who's unintentionally left behind on an island. She waits year after year hoping to be rescued by her people. Until then she has to do a lot to stay alive. Using her wits she makes her own shelter, obtains her own food and makes weapons to keep off the island's feral dogs. A truly inspiring and amazing book. Karana is a real life, Survivor.
