I remember reading this book when I was in elementary school and loving it. It's been quite a few years since I read this book...so, I wondered what I'd think after reading it as an adult.
It still is a compelling story and I will encourage my kids to read it. I was either not aware or forgot that this book was based on the imagined life of a real person. After reading this, I found the story much more interesting.
The story has been described in enough detail, so I won't go into that. I will say that if you are looking for a good read and you (or your child) enjoy books such as Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet" that deal with overcoming obstacles and survival, you will quickly adopt "Island of the Blue Dolphins" as a favorite.Get more detail about Island of the Blue Dolphins.
