DESCRIPTION:
FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. A young Indian girl learns the art of survival when she is stranded on an isolated Pacific island
Simply written, but beautiful and poignant I am old enough to have had this book read to my elementary school class when it was still fairly new. It is a book I have remembered ever since.What is known is that in 1853 a lone woman was "rescued" from San Nicolas Island off the coast of California. The rest of her tribe had been evacuated eighteen years before, but no one who spoke her language remained after those years had passed. Thus she could tell no one her story, save the little she communicated to a priest with gestures, and she became ill and died after a few weeks.From this bit of history Scott O'Dell imagines a life.

It never came to a stop nor did it get boring. I enjoyed having it this way because I wanted to read more every time I finished a chapter of the book. I always wanted to see what happened next. In addition, I was really intrigued by the main character, Karana, because of her love of animals and her vibrant personality. She became very independent when she was stranded on the island because she became determined to survive. It was very impressive that. "Loved it" according to Amazon Customer. I read this as a child, and again at Loved it Amazon Customer I read this as a child, and again at 40. I loved it then, but even more now. There were so many things I couldn't picture back then, like the "devil fish", the cormorant skirt, etc. With the internet, now I can visualize all of these better. I'm fascinated by her story, and I would love to find out more about the "Lost woman.". 0. I loved it then, but even more now.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and planned to walk over to the party. By now the kids were grown. Regis Hotel. But when I began to get dressed, I encountered a problem. All of this floated back into my mind when I found myself rereading, last summer, The Island of the Blue Dolphins. But a later memory surfaced, as well, of a party I was invited to in the summer of 1979. But because of my own children I knew his books, and I was pleased to be invited to such an illustrious event. The party would start soon. I think it may have been Vassar. I had never met Mr. I was alone in my
