Product Description
In 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 a 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.


From the Paperback edition.

My son has learning challenges when it comes to reading and comprehension, so I ordered this book on cd for him. It worked wonderfully! Although he followed along in his book, it helped him a lot.

On an island that looks like a big fish sunning itself on the sea, there were indaians living on that island many years ago. The villagers are taken by a ship to the east,but a girl was left behind. Her name is Karana and she waits for the ship to come back to her to take her. While waiting, she battles the nature that is on the island. It is not just a book of survival, it is also a book of beauty and battling lonelyness on the island.
