Review of Scott O'Dell's "Island of the Blue Dolphins"
Survival for Karana is more difficult than just finding enough to eat
and drink. Her need for shelter from wild animals and the fierce storms
that beat against her island are only the beginning. Karana must deal
with grief, abandonment, and loneliness. Her strong will to live helps
her forge a new life in harsh conditions void of the culture and human
interaction most of mankind takes for granted. The internal
thoughts and feelings of this fictional (but inspired by real life) girl
kept me turning the pages.
