Summary: Finding Your Family
Review: A Review by Nena
This book is the sequel to Island of the Blue Dolphins. Zia, the nice of Karana, wants to find her aunt. She tries many possible ways to get to the island that her aunt is supposable on. Many other people came in to help her. Do you think they will ever find Karana?

Zia and, her brother, Mando are the main characters. Mando would be tribally annoying at times. For example, he had to go just about everywhere with Zia. It seemed as if he would never go away. Also, if you did not let him do what he wanted he would cry or make Zia feel like she has to go out of her way to make him happy. Threw out the book you would find Spanish words like; Mira, they would not tell you most of the meanings. That is what I did not like about the book. Mostly the book made it up with action that was taking place. The exciding parts don't last very long in the book. I think they should be longer. Most of the boring parts where long. There were some not very important things in the book but it as still good to read.

I would recommend this book to people who have already read Island of the Blue Dolphins. Also, I recommend this to people who like a great adventure. It is easy to read, but the Spanish words would be hard for people who don't know Spanish.

Review: Adventure! Excitement! This book has it all! I can tell you if you like these two things you have to read this book. This book is actually the sequel to the Island of the Blue Dolphins! And I know you're thinking "Is it about Karana? About her new life? Is she ok?" Well, if you really want to know it is about her niece named Zia. When the rest of Karana's tribe left, Karana's sister left too. Her sister got married and had a baby named Zia. Zia was raised hearing storys about Karana and Zia decided she wanted to find her. When Zia was fourteen she was sent to live in a mission, a place where Native Americans are sent to learn Christianity, and she realizes it is really close to the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Zia finds a boat and tries to find her long lost aunt. Will she succeed? Will she fail? You'll have to read the book for yourself. If you haven't already I suggest you read Island of the Blue Dolphins before you read Zia. Have fun reading!

Summary: A great book!
Review: I think Zia is a great book and every student should read it. It's about a 14 year old girl named Zia and her brother Mando. They go on a search for their Aunt Karana, who's been stranded on the Island of Blue Dolphins for 18 years. They'll do anything to save her. This is an adventurous, dangerous, and exciting book.

Review: Scott O'Dell is an awesome author! I've read two books by him and I loved them both, they are Island of the Blue Dolphins and Zia.

They fix it up and want to use to sail to the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Do they make it to the island? Do they find Karana? Read the book and find out!

Summary: This book was a winner!
Review: The plot of the story was about a girl named Zia and her brother Mando who where determined to find their Aunt Karana on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. They lived at a mission and worked there too. They found a row boat that washed a shore after a hurricane. The boat had the word Boston and then the letter "B" and then the letter "Y ". Later they found out that the name was "Boston boy" .

Zia and Mando decided that they would take the boat and sail to the Island of the Blue Dolphins and look for their Aunt Karana. So they gathered food and another oar because the boat had came with one oar and a sail. After about a month they where ready to sail.

Unfortunately they didn't make it. But Zia talked with a captain that lived on a hill on her Island. He said that he was sailing to the Island in a few months. When the time came he sailed to the Island. He came back a few weeks later to find all the people gone but he found Karana. They found Zia in jail. A few days later she was let go and she met her aunt. About 6 months later Karana died and Zia took her dog that Karana left behind. I'll leave the rest for you to read!
