Island of the Blue Dolphins

    Sometimes when you're sick, your brain turns to mush. So, you pick up the nearest piece of paper and curl  in a ball to wait it out. Anyway that was me last week, and Island of the Blue Dolphins, by Scott O'Dell, was the nearest piece of paper. It's the perfect sick book, all about a native american girl who's tribe decided to leave their land -- island, I guess-- accidentally leaving her behind to fend for herself, and have a bunch of adventures. She befriends a wild dog, fights an octopus, and makes a skirt out of crow feathers. I think I read it in like six hours. Overall a fun, quick read. I really loved this book, sorry for the lame review.
