Island Of The Blue Dolphins
by Scott O'Dell
You should read this book because it is a fast-moving adventure and there
are lots of strange incidents. If you can handle really complicated situations,
you could probably handle Island of the Blue Dolphins. This book is
complicated to me because when somebody passes away, it feels like someone
new just pops in.
The character I like the most is Karana because she is really confident and
hard working. She is hard working because she built a whole big hut all by
herself. She is confident because she stood up to the big pack of wild dogs.
She goes through some very tough times. The toughest times for Karana were
when her father died, her brother got killed, and her dog Rontu's death.
She felt very calm when her father and brother died but her dog's death
probably affected her the most. Even though her dog died, she found Rontu's
son that looked exactly like Rontu.
This book is really interesting because it has lots of emotion and lots of
humor with sad and happy moments. This book reminds me of a true story.
When everything starts turning bad in the book, you will want to know what
happens next. I recommend this book to you because it is amazing and like
I said, when the bad things start happening, you will want to read the book.
