What did you think of the book, 'Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell?

Question

What about "Sing Down the Moon," also by Scott O'Dell?

Answer 1

OMG Scott O'deil is my Favorite Author. I loved Island of the blue Dolphins. but My favorite is Sing Down the Moon becuz I am a Native American. And I kinda related to that story. But that was back in 7th grade.

Answer 2

I liked the parts that had people in them. I reread the opening chapters over and over as a child. I was absolutely fascinated that "Island of the Blue Dolphins" was about a real person. I wanted to know more about Karina's life after she was rescued and what happened to her people.

But, I was completely bored by the middle section. Maybe I'd appreciate it more today.

"Sing Down the Moon" I remember thinking had a better cover than a story. I liked "My Name is Not Angelica" the best out of Scott O'Dell's books, I think.

Answer 3

I read Island of the Blue Dolphins in 4th grade,it was extremely boring for me.

Answer 4

My 6th grade teacher loved it so much that she would read it to the class. She would spend every Friday afternoon after recess. It was a good story, but I hated the fact that the teacher demanded that we liked it because she liked it. Ever since then I never wanted to read that book ever.
