Publisher's summary
In the Pacific, there is an island that looks like a big fish sunning itself in the sea. Around it blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea birds abound. Karana is the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Hers is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.
Critic reviews
- Newbery Medal Winner, 1961
"Narrator Tantoo Cardinal more than succeeds in delivering a lovely listening experience. Her accent and pronunciation are first rate. The music adds to the story with an ethnic sound. When the Russians invaded the island, many islanders were killed or fled. Some, like the young girl, Karana, were accidentally left behind. Karana's survival in remote isolation is moving and unforgettable. Both the text and Cardinal's style make the listener feel...part of Karana's isolation and maturation." (AudioFile magazine)

In this short book illuminated by a deep understanding and love of humanity, John Steinbeck retells an old Mexican folk tale: the story of the great pearl, how it was found, and how it was lost. For the diver Kino, finding a magnificent pearl means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to the tragedy. For Steinbeck, Kino and his wife illustrate the fall from innocence of people who believe that wealth erases all problems.

Story
Two girls survive a terrible flood in the Tasmanian bush and are rescued by a pair of Tasmanian tigers who raise them in the wild. Their story of survival is remarkable, as they adapt to the life of the tiger, learning to hunt and to communicate without the use of human language. When they are discovered and returned to civilization, neither can adapt to being fully human after their extraordinary experience. Totally believable, their story will both shock and captivate listeners as it explores the animal instincts that lie beneath our civilized veneer.

Story
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Story
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. He came into this world named Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today kids talk about how fast he could run; about how he hit an inside-the-park "frog" homer; about how no knot, no matter how snarled, would stay that way once he began to untie it. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East Side and those from the West Side.

Incredible Story
We listened to Island of the Blue Dolphins as a family whenever we had more then a few minutes time. It's an incredibly interesting, well written, and captivating story. My 7 year old enjoyed it almost as much as my 10 year old. A bit scary and intense at times for a 7 year old but all in all it's worth your time and money.

Enjoyed & I think my kids may like it too
If you could sum up Island of the Blue Dolphins in three words, what would they be?
The story is easy to follow and interesting.
Who was your favorite character and why?
the girl / main character
What about Tantoo Cardinal’s performance did you like?
yes
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really...it was pretty easy to start and stop without thinking about it.
Any additional comments?
The only complaint I have is the cheesy music in the background.

ABSOLUTELY CHARMING!
Tantoo Cardinal does a beautiful job narrating this book, which reads like a diary. Even though there is, for the most part, only one person speaking—Karana, the young girl who is the main character—she makes use of every element of a good story: happiness, sadness, tranquility, tension, imagery and symbolism—and Cardinal does it all with her soft, soothing voice. The descriptions of the island, its resources, its legends, its culture, and Karana’s courage are all so perfectly executed, I could see and hear and smell and feel everything as if I was right there. BRAVO, Scott O'Dell and Tantoo Cardinal for a story that is VERY well done!
