Kara and her tribe live in harmony on the Island of the Blue Dolphin until otter hunters arrive. After a vicious battle, her tribe decides to leave the island. The next ship that arrives everyone leaves except Kara and her brother. Kara learns how to survive on the island without her elders and make friends with the animals. Although her descriptions at times were tedious, I thought it was an interesting survival story (much like Hatchett). Kara is a very honorable and strong character. Her actions were very surprising and it left me wondering what I would do if I was in the same situation. Good for grades 5 and up.
Trivia:
Try to guess what the devilfish was.
