Puffin Books Island of the Blue Dolphins (Puffin Books)
Scott O'Dell won the Newbery Medal for <I>Island of the Blue Dolphins</I> in 1961, and in 1976 the Children's Literature Association named this riveting story one of the 10 best American children's books of the past 200 years. O'Dell was inspired by the real-life story of a 12-year-old American Indian girl, Karana. The author based his book on the life of this remarkable young woman who, during the evacuation of Ghalas-at (an island off the coast of California), jumped ship to stay with her young brother who had been abandoned on the island. He died shortly thereafter, and Karana fended for herself on the island for 18 years. <p> O'Dell tells the miraculous story of how Karana forages on land and in the ocean, clothes herself (in a green-cormorant skirt and an otter cape on special occasions), and secures shelter. Perhaps even more startlingly, she finds strength and serenity living alone on the island. This beautiful edition of <I>Island of the Blue Dolphins</I> is enriched with 12 full-page watercolour paintings by Ted Lewin, illustrator of more than 100 children's books, including <I>Ali, Child of the Desert</I>. A gripping story of battling wild dogs and sea elephants, this simply told, suspenseful tale of survival is also an uplifting adventure of the spirit.
