Island of the Blue Dolphins

This week, we've been started to read the book Island of the Blue Dolphins. We did an assignment where we had to re-design our own cover for the book. The book is about a girl named Karana, an Indian girl who lived alone for many years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. She was waiting for many years, but while she did, she had to build shelter, make weapons, find food, and fight the wild dogs. Not only is her adventure for survival unusual, but its a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.
