an opinion.
Island of the Blue Dolphins is an amazing book. It is about a girl named
Karana. The Aleuts came, and they wanted to hunt seal. The chief said it was
okay, but only if they gave half of the seal. The Aleuts are always mean. They
lied, and then there was war. Kimki went to go look for a new place for the tribe
to live. It would be really scary if the Aleuts came back.
