About this audiobook
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 birds abound. Karana is the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Hers is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.

this book was in my library and me being the smart little nerd I was I grabbed but I also didn't like reading. I didn't have a phone, so as if listening to music I played this book and it was and still is my favorite book. I can't believe I found it. I didn't finish it the first time because I had to turn it in and it was my last day at that school. mind you this was when I was in sixth grade. and I only picked it up because it had. wolf on the cover. but I'm glad I did pick it up. I recommend you read or listen to this book if you like adventure and like books that are about Indians and animals. this book made me love books even more. so thank you Scott O'Dell for this amazing story.
