“While her tribe is being taken away from her native island, a girl jumps overboard when she realizes that her little brother has been left behind. Soon she is left completely alone when wild dogs kill her brother. While watching for a ship to return for her, she spends many years surviving on her own with only animals for company. The rich descriptions of her resourcefulness and determination are inspiring. This book is based off the true story of The Lost Woman of San Nicolas, who was rescued and taken to the Santa Barbara Mission in 1853. The fact that this fictionalized survival story is rooted in history gives it an added element of appeal. This story could spark a reader’s interest Native American history.”
