These are going to be speed entries, because it has been awhile since posting and I'm trying to make up for it. Okay, Island of the Blue Dolphins was a book that I really enjoyed as a child, and it is available on Overdrive as an audiobook. (You'll notice this is a theme for a bunch of the books I will post.) Karana is a young girl, left alone on the island by a series of unfortunate occurrences. She has to learn how to survive, all the while deciding for herself what traditions she may need to reevaluate. What I liked about this book is that it is one of those My Side of the Mountain sort of young-person-surviving books, but with the main character being a young indigenous woman. Good for any young woman looking for a strong female character. Spoiler: Bad for any one who gets all weepy when the dog dies.
