Today I finished an exciting book called Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.
My favorite part of the book is when she does an attack on the wild dogs cave and kills many of dogs and then takes a wounded one and tames it. At the beginning these white men called the aluets come and kill many of the Indian warriors then escape. The Indians flee thinking the aluets might come back but only one is left your thinking Karana right? Wrong, it's her little brother Ramo. So Karana jumps out of the boat and go's back to save him. Later he is killed by wild dogs.
Next, Karana does a bunch of things to survive. At one point she finds a beached whale and the she kills a walrus and a giant devilfish. She makes many friends on the island a wild dog named Rontu and his son Rontu-aru, an otter named mon-a-nee and two birds Tainor and Lumari.
I really liked the book and I think the author wanted it to be about a girl Robinson Crusoe and her way of survival. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure book.

That is quite the book report. I am confident you are great student! It also sounds like you are receiving a world-class education. You must have an awesome teacher. I read your report to Nicole and she remembers that book. I've never heard of it, but I like it. I reminds me a little of a book I read called Hatchet. I think they made a movie based on it called My Side of the Mountain. Check it out if you need another book to read.
