Story of a young girl abandoned on a small island by her family and her village, and of her fight for survival.

The incredible courage, determination and strength of this girl is showcased throughout as she learns to do the things that only the men of her tribe did before, and battles not only the hunters who frequent the island, but also her desperate loneliness as well... Excellent read for kids 11 and older.

Karana is a young Indian girl stranded alone on her anscestral island. As the years go on and the ship does not come back, she must learn to survive on her own.

Her story is one of survival and courage. She must defend herself against the wild dogs roaming on the island, and somehow keep hope that the ship will return for her. She faces both trials and joys as she searches for food and shelter.

This story was such a sweet read, and one that all kids will enjoy!
