The main idea of this book is a girl named Karana, and her brother Ramo, get left on an island and Ramo dies so she is living on the Island of the Blue Dolphins by herself. Now she has to gather food and water to survive. Also, she has to find or make shelter for herself. She finds a wild dog and tries to kill it, but it lives, so she takes it back to her home and it heals and becomes her pet dog. Later on in the book her animal friend dies so she goes to scout for a new one. When she finds one she names it Rontualoo.
So I guess I can’t tell you if she goes to the main land with her tribe, but read the book and sooner or later you will find out what happens! I thought this book was pretty good and if you like history and fiction, (historical fiction) I think you might like it as well as me.
