Review: Island of the Blue Dolphins: I read the book Island of the Blue Dolphins. This is a wonderful adventure book. Karana is the main character of the story. She is a villager in the Ghalas-at tribe on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. When a ship came to the island to take the villagers to a new land, she got left behind. Finally, one of her biggest enemies became her best friend. I found three new opinions in this book. Friends will do anything to help or protect you. Your enemies can become your friends. It is not a good idea to make deals with strangers. I also learned some interesting facts. I learned that Karana was a real person. She was really known as The Lost Woman of San Nicolas. I also learned that the Island of Blue dolphins is a real place but its real name is La Isla de San Nicolas. Finally, the Indians of Ghalas-at had disappeared. I would recommend this book for three reasons. Once you start reading you won't want to stop. It is full of action and adventure. It has many surprises too. I think that if you like adventures, you will love this book.
