About this product

Product Information

Scott O'Dell's Newbery Medal-winning classic is a gripping tale of survival, strength, and courage. Based on the true story of a Nicoleño Indian girl living alone on an island off the coast of California, Island of the Blue Dolphins has captivated readers for generations. On San Nicolas Island, dolphins flash in the surrounding blue waters, sea otter play in the vast kelp beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, a girl named Karana spent eighteen years alone. Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that killed her younger brother, constantly guard against Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. Her courage, self-reliance, and grit has inspired millions of readers in this breathtaking adventure. As Smithsonian magazine put it: "For kids all over the country, reading the book in language arts classes, Karana is a powerful symbol of their growing independence. Through her, they can imagine themselves making their way in the world alone--and thriving."

Reviews
"A haunting and unusual story based on the fact that in the early 1800s an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone on a rocky island far off the coast of California . . . A quiet acceptance of fate characterizes her ordeal." School Library Journal, Starred "O'Dell tells the miraculous story of how Karana forages on land and in the ocean, clothes herself (in a green-cormorant skirt and an otter cape on special occasions), and secures shelter. Perhaps even more startlingly, she finds strength and serenity living alone on the island. This beautiful edition of Island of the Blue Dolphins is enriched with 12 full-page watercolor paintings by Ted Lewin, illustrator of more than 100 children's books, including Ali, Child of the Desert. A gripping story of battling wild dogs and sea elephants, this simply told, suspenseful tale of survival is also an uplifting adventure of the spirit." Amazon.com

    A Lifelong Favorite

    This book as been one of my favorite books that I read every 3-4 years and love it every time. This is a wonderful book for a little girl or boy that is interested in animals or native Americans but is also a nice easy short read for adults as well. It is also based on a true event and has some background information in the front about the actual woman the story is based on. I cannot praise the nice little book enough.

  • Affordable Student Books on a Tight Personal Teacher's Income

    I ordered 16 books and most of them were like brand new, the others were used probably once. They were the best price found, too! They arrived in good time and shape. Both shipments came in water proof packaging.

  • Learning about the Island of the Blue Dolphin book

    Island of the Blue Dolphins id a book that talk about a young girl that was abandoned in an island. This girl survived in the island despite every problems that there were in the island. She fought with every problem herself until she was rescued. Due to the fact that she lost many importan people, she learned to deal every problem. The book is a little different of the movie because the book has more details that the movie has.
