"Island of the Blue Dolphins" is really an exceptional story. My friend read it in middle school for a report, and though the story sounding interesting, I never read it until now. The fact that the story is centered around a girl is something that, though popular now, was not as common a decade ago. I'd no idea that the main plot of the story was actually true, either.

This is a quality classic based on a true story of a young girl shipwrecked on an island. I read it to my grandsons and they loved it. So, I purchased a copy for my granddaughter to read. Unlike many books published today, this young girl remains innocent but grows into maturity through a myriad of trials and emerges victorious. Should be mandatory reading for grade 3 and up. Parents can feel safe about the contents of this book.
Every book was is great shape. I wish that they had been the same cover, but that is only nit picking since I was using it for a 4th grade summer class.
