Finished Isle Of The Blue Dolphins at work today, while everyone was at a farewell luncheon for our secretary. I like her but I just couldn't face another farewell luncheon.Good book. Great book. It made me cry a little.
Based on a true story but just an outline of a story--an Indian girl is left alone when she goes back to get her brother after the rest of her people float away on a big ship. And so she stays, alone...but for the wild dogs, sea otters, birds, and assorted other hard-working creatures.
I wonder how much Nim's Island owed to this book.
