fla2; reread of something I read as a child. Karana lives with her Ghalas-at clan on The Island of the Blue Dolphin. A russian ship comes to harvest otter pelts, and leaves minimal things in exchange, causing a fight between his ship and the local Indians. The indian clan is decimated by the fight. After a few years, another ship with white men comes to take the people to an island where their chief (who left earlier in a canoe) is waiting. All of the clan except Kamara & her brother go - her brother is missing the ship, so Kamara jumps overboard to get to him. Ramo is killed by the wild dogs on the island, so Kamara lives in total isolation on the island for 18 years. When another white man ship arrives, she learns that the ship with her clan was lost at sea & she is the only surviving member of her clan.

this copy will be sent out as a rabck.

Enjoy!

I received this book today in the mail through a RABCK - thank you NancyNova! My aunt actually recommended that I read this, so I'm going to start as soon as I can. Will release once I'm finished :)
