5 starsThis is the best story scott o'dell has written so far. I own and recomend this book, Hope every one likes this book! I have seen the movie too, and I almost cried when Karanna's father gets shot. The movie is great, but the book is better. I have even made a hut but following the stuff that she did!. This book is one of my faves and I hope you like it too. ♥ From awesomeperson24

5 starsI got this book from Borders in Freehold, a bookstore that's not there any more. I only went there one day- the last day it was going to be open. I'm so glad I got this book. It's about a girl who must learn to survive on her own without her tribe, and the only friends there were animals to her, since her brother died. It's based on a true story of a Native American girl on the Island of the Blue Dolphins.
tima2/20/2013this book was amazing it's about a girl and how her family has to move because a group of dangerous people want there land. Karana has a little brother that on the day the village is leaving is left on the island. Karana being brave jumps of the ship the village is leaving on, and goes to her brother. The ship leaves her and her brother. One day Karana's brother goes out and is killed by a pack of wild dogs. Well that's only part of the story the rest I won't spoil!

5 starsThis book is true, (most of it, I know, is), and the main character in this book was left by her people so that they can continue on their journey to the New Land. She faces some dangers, loses her brother to a wolf, and forms unusual friendships in her time alone.
