We have had few assignments and practice. So as we finished up the year(her 3rd grade year), I had oldest read Island of the Blue Dolphins and do a book report. I definitely had proud Mama feelings after reading it. She went upstairs to write the report and came down with this within the hour. I am sharing it with you, in the beginning draft form, before Dad edited it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Island of the Blue Dolphins<br /><div style="text-align: left;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Island of the Blue Dolphins is about a twelve year old Indian girl named Karana.<span style=""> </span>She was left<span style=""> </span>behind with her brother, Ramo.<span style=""> </span>Karana is brave, clever, friendly, fightful and loving.
