Island of the blue dolphins

This review is from: Island of the Blue Dolphins (Cloth Text)

I first read this book when I was in grade school and now being an adult in my 20somethings I still refer to this book as being the book that I wanted to read over and over again until the book became so worn. If you went into my public school and took this book out you would see my name over and over again.

This book is aspiring to any young girl who wants to believe she can survive in this world today and take it with her into adult hood.

Today I am buying this book so I can… + read more

Girl Power

This review is from: Island Of The Blue Dolphins (Mass Market Paperbound)

2 years ago

I first read this at a friend's house when I was a little girl, because I didn't have many books (I know, boo hoo). I'm making up for that now. Anyway, it's man-against-nature adventure, but even more exciting to me as a little girl, because it was about a young girl who gets stranded on an island with her brother. He gets killed by wild dogs and then she has to fend for herself. She must build shelter, find food and fight off the dogs. She even makes weapons, which it was forbidden for… + read more

Island of the Blue Dolphins

This review is from: Island of the Blue Dolphins (Audio Book (Cassette))

Island of the Blue Dolphins was an excellent book it cange my point of view it was so sad and I felt so sorry for that little girl. I used to wish that I would be stranded on a island without anybody else but when I read that book it made me think how much I was taking my famly for granted. When her little brother was killed by the wild dogs and she swore that she would kill all of the wild dogs. But when she shouts an arrow at the packs leader she hits him in the chest and he runs off but… + read more

Amazing! A Total Adventure

Though it is a children's book, this story is one of my favorites. Everytime I read it I can't believe someone would have this kind of courage and perserverance. A recommended read to all of my friends.

A Book of Epic Proportions

3 years ago

Back when I was a mere youngling, I remember how this book became part of a novel study. Indeed, once I read it, I identified this literary masterpiece almost at once as a book of epic proportions. Only such a work could make me so profoundly bored, so painfully depressed. Only such a book could trigger such an intense loathing. Indeed, readers, an epic work like this deserves to be cast into the depths of the sea which it describes with so much detail, for only then will its true grandeur be… + read more

Wonderful book

This review is from: Island of the Blue Dolphins (Mass Market Paperbound)

This book is a fantastic young adult read. I read it in Grade 6, and I will be happily teaching it to my Grade 8's next year. It is a story of the struggle of a girl who is left behind on an island. It is a great book to learn about different perspectives in the world. A real eye-opener for me as a child.

This was a very amazing book. I have read it seven times. Every time I read it I always get something new out of it. I believe that this isn't just a children's book, but a book for all ages. It always makes me cry. It is a story that really touches the heart. Thank-You for this wonderful gift-Scott. *Miranda*
