Just finished listening to this with the kids and I really enjoyed it, the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is that I would've liked more of an ending. Definitely a great read for the kids.

My fifth grade teacher read this to us back in the day - a chapter or two at a time - and it's stuck with me ever since. I've always wanted to go back and revisit it on my own to see if it's as compelling and magical as I remembered. It is.
It's a survival story, but it's also a story about isolation and culture and animals and people and hope and it's just a beautiful, beautiful thing. Someone reminded me that O'Dell actually wrote a sequel, so that's gone on the reading list, too.

Great book to read before visiting the Channel Islands! Teaches you about the land and how to be ok and survive if you are on your own. Also how you can get a lot of your purpose needs met by taking care of yourself, animals, and working through cultural beliefs so that you don't limit yourself.
