by scott o'dell ![]() This wonderful story of survival follows Karana, a young lady apart of an island tribe. Karana’s father is chief of their people and when the Aleuts land on their island Karana is worried about what will happen now that these strangers have landed to hunt their otter. Karana is right be afraid when the Aleuts refuse to pay the dues for hunting on their island fights break out resulting in the death of most of Karana’s people. Those who survive flee the island in fear and Karana and her brother Ramos are left behind. Sadly, shortly after everyone else has left, Ramos is killed by the wild dogs that inhabit the island. Left completely alone on the island, Karana is left to figure out how to live isolated. This creative and inspiring survival story is great because it features a female protagonist unlike a lot of survival stories that have already been written. 1960, Houghton Mifflin Company Boston. $3.95. Ages 10 and up. Kelsey Means
