I read this book when I was in third grade and some of the inventions she created after getting left behind were amazing. It really inspired me to think harder about the inventions I was creating. I even cried in this book. Overall it was an amazing book and I recommend you read it!!!

“That night I stayed in the house. Before I fell asleep I thought of a name for him, for I could not call him Dog. The name I thought of was Rontu, which means in our language Fox Eyes.” – Karana (The first time she actually had a “friend” on the island in the 19 years she was stuck there.)
