This classic was one of my very favorites as a child. I was excited to share it with our daughter, and I was delighted that she loved it too. Island of the Blue Dolphin shares the story of Karana and her survival on an island off the Pacific Coast for a span of eighteen years. Her tenacity and ingenuity are keys to her success.
