Books Descriptions
An alternate cover edition can be found hereIn the Pacific
there is an island that looks like a big fish sunning itself in
the sea. Around it, blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea
elephants and sea birds abound. Once, Indians also lived on the
island. And when they left and sailed to the east, one young
girl was left behind.This is the story of Karana, the Indian
girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue
Dolphins. Year after year, she watched one season pass into
another and waited for a ship to take her away. But while she
waited, she kept herself alive by building shelter, making
weapons, finding food, and fighting her enemies, the wild dogs.
It is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a
tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.
