Island of the Blue Dolphins

Island of the Blue Dolphins

By Scott O'Dell

Island of the Blue Dolphins is about a girl named Karana who got left on her island to live alone. While she was gathering roots with her brother Ramo, she saw the Aleut ship and watched it carefully. Her brother thought it was a cloud, then a whale ,then a canoe. Ramo was quick to make things up. Karana kept digging roots but her hands were trembling with excitement. When she filled the basket with roots, the Aleut ship had almost docked. She crouched in the toyon bushes, trying to hide herself. She saw six men with long oars they had broad faces and their hair fell over their faces. At the back of the boat stood a man with a yellow beard. She had never seen a Russian before and wondered why he looked so angry. Then, the man spoke. He said, "I come in peace and wish to parley." Her father came up to him, thrust his spear into the ground and told this man his name. His true name. This startled Karana for they only give their real names to people whom they trust the most. The next morning had little wind. The Russian's name was Captain Orlov. He tried to bargain with Karana's father. He said the parts of the island shall be equal. They said more but Karana did not here because she was so excited she dropped a rock wich fell off the cliff she was on. Everyone looked up. Silently, she left the Toyon bushes and ran to the mesa. I highly recommend this book it is entertaining and suspensive.

Brown Girl Dreaming (Newbery Honor Book)

Brown Girl Dreaming (Newbery Honor Book)

By Jacqueline Woodson

This book is full of poems. Jacqueline is born on February 18, 1963, in the city of Columbus, Ohio, and named after her father, Jack. While Jackie’s first year is spent in the North, several trips are made to the South for Mary Ann (her mother) to visit her parents, Grandpa Gunnar and Grandma Georgiana, who live in the Nicholtown area of Greenville, South Carolina. The region is segregated and Jackie doesn't understand why she always goes. Her parents' very different feelings about the South causes arguments between them. Eventually, Jack and Mary Ann split up, and Mary Ann and her three children, Hope, Odella, and Jackie, move south to live with Grandpa Gunnar and Grandma Georgiana. Jackie comes to love Greenville. While racism and segregation exist there, the place is still home to her and her grandparents. They believe in peaceful marches for civil rights. They know that God will bless them for doing the right thing. Despite the widespread animosity, there are white people in Greenville who are respectful and treat Jackie and her family like actual human beings, rather than dirt. One such woman is the owner of the local laundromat store, who has known Grandma Georgiana for years. Mary Ann, however, wants to move back North. So, she travels to New York City to get settled. Jackie and her siblings stay on with their grandparents, relishing the time they have with them until Mary Ann comes to retrieve her children, with a brand new baby boy named Roman in tow. They move in with Mary Ann's sister Caroline Irby (Aunt Kay), but Aunt Kay dies and the family of five is left alone. In New York, Jackie becomes best friends with a girl from Puerto Rico named Maria. She also decides that she wants to become a writer after encouragement from her teacher. Each summer, Jackie and her siblings return to South Carolina to visit their grandparents. However, each time they find Grandpa Gunnar, a heavy smoker, sicker and sicker. Mary Ann's brother gets sent to prison after getting in trouble with the police, during which time he converts to Islam. About the same time, Jackie and Maria start to love Angela Davis of the Black Panther movement. They imitate Angela, though they have no real idea about the revolution in which she is involved. Not long after, Grandpa Gunnar dies of cancer, and Grandma Georgiana moves up to New York to be with Mary Ann and the grandchildren.
