Koby feels that on the ocean she is completely freefrom everything especially the weird looks she has been getting since the accident. On the ocean Koby befriends a pilot whale and her calf. Later in the story she finds them stranded and, "No matter what - she's staying!".

This book, named Stranded, is one of the greatest book I ever read. This book pulled me into the book cause it was amazing. It grabed my attention. So I kept on reading the book and it got better and better. It was about a girl named Koby. She has one leg that is fake. She moves into a new school and a has no friends there. Everyone looks at her cause she's the only one with a fake leg. She gets frustrated at them looking at her leg. She got used to it so after few days she forgot about it and no one looked at her fake leg. She is one of those people who doesn't give up if they fail. They just try their best. She has no friends at this school. After school she goes and finds a stranded dolphin on the beach. She takes care of it. She is really good at taking care of animals. What will she do?
I like this book because of many things. The book is interesting, fun, wild, and has lots of things in common with me.
I like it cause she helps other animals and tries to do other thigs too, like bringing their family together and getting some friends."Dad, I want to help." Koby just wanted to get her parents together, get friends, and save the dolphins. She is just caring about everything. She is just a kid. That is why I like this book.
I dislike this book because it was sad and mean. Koby couldn't get any friends. She was new so no one liked her. They always stared at her fake leg. It was so sad. How would it feel? If you were Koby and you had no friends how would you react? It is so sad. She is just trying to fit in the school and people don't welcome her and they make her sad.What bad friends.That is so mean. I would tell my mother to move out of her. It is so sad and mean. "Koby walked up,a couple of girlsturned and noticed her exposed leggy. They smiled."
My favorite part of this book was when she was having P.E. and there was an activity she was good at. The captain was the most popular girl in school, Becky, chose Koby 7th pick. Their team was losing and Koby caught up and won the race. They were so happy to win. They got to be friends and were really close friends after that. Koby was so happy. That was my favorite part of the book.

Summary: Stranded
Review: The book "Stranded" is a wonderful book that tells a story about a girl named Koby that is having a hard time in her life and escapes it by meeting 2 whales. Koby experience something that had changed her life around. She wasen't able to do normal day to day things like other kids. Until one day she finds two whales. She grows attached and finds them again but this time stranded. Staying all night with lots of fears running through her head. She saves them and since then she made new friends and found a connection between her and the whales. They treated her as if nothing was wrong with her. Not only does this book teach you to look inside a person and not just the outside but to trust people and yourself. I strongly recomend this book because I simply could NOT put it down.
