First line: I remember the day the Aleut ship came to our island.
Why you should read this book: Life on Karana's island becomes dangerous when the Aleut otter hunters arrive, bringing lies and death for Karana's people, who decide it would be safer to trust in white people who will carry them to a safer land. When her brother, Ramo misses the boat, Karana chases after him and the two end up stranded in their abandoned home. Karana must battle the elements, wild dogs, devil fish, and dozens of other threats in order to survive on her own.
Why you shouldn't read this book: A little sad.
