Island of the blue dolphins Hello my name is Scott O'Dell and I wrote one of many books called Island Of The Blue Dolphins. I wrote this book in 1960. This book is a classic because it was written in 1865 but it was published in 1960. This story is about a young girl stranded for years on an island off the California coast, it is based on the true story of Juana Maria, a Nicoleño Indian left alone for 18 years on San Nicolas Island in the 19th century.The Main character is a girl named Karana and she is only 14 years old when she is left behind from her tribe with her brother and two coyotes. Her brother Ramo is eventually killed by a pack of feral dogs who abandoned the villagers Merit and form of style *The reason I wrote this book was to let young adults and kids learn how it is to be by yourself and how to survive with a younger child.
