Island of the Blue Dolphins

"Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell is the third book I've read. The story is based on the real story about a Native American woman who lived alone on the island called San Nicolas Island from 1835 to 1853.

This story is a survival story of an Indian girl named Karana who left alone on the island. At first she was not the only one left on the island. Her little brother was also there. What happened to them? - When islanders decided to leave the island and the ship came to take them, Karana was actually on the ship but her brother was not there because he was trying to bring his stuffs and couldn't get on the boat. Then she went back to the island since she couldn't leave him alone. After the ship's gone, their new life started. They enjoyed living by themselves, however, a tragedy happened. One day wild dogs attacked
As the story goes on, she faced many difficulties. She had to get foods, waters, place to live, and protect herself by animals. She had to do all of these things by only herself. I can't believe a girl had done these things. If I was her, I don't think I can survive even for a week.

This story was a bit long and boring for me, I figure that I don't like this kind of books.
