The story is connecting with, elegantly composed, and is inexactly founded on the daily routine of an accomplished alone on a lady island off the California coast. The book gives youngsters trust and to dare to battle for endurance under any unforgiving conditions.
Distant the bank of California lingers an unforgiving stone known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins streak in the blue waters around it, ocean otters play in the huge kelp beds, and ocean elephants loll on the stony seashores.
Here, in the mid-1800s, as per history, an Indian young lady burned through eighteen years alone, and this perfectly composed novel is her story. It is a heartfelt experience loaded up with show and sorrow, for not exclusively was a simple resource on so forlorn a spot a close to marvel, yet Karana needed to fight with the savage bunch of wild canines that had killed her more youthful sibling, continually guard against the Aleutian ocean otter trackers, and keep a problematic food supply.
More than this, an experience of the soul will torment the peruser long after the book has been put down. Karana's peaceful mental fortitude, her Indian independence, and acknowledgment of destiny changed what to many would have been an overwhelming difficulty into an elevating experience. From depression and fear come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning work of art.
