NoJoMo 11 -- Island Of the Blue Dolphins in NoJoMo 2018

When I was growing up, there weren’t a lot of “adventure” stories for (or about) girls. But there was this one. The first time I read it, I was about he same age as the main character. It made such a deep impression on me that I read it at least once a year for about the next 5 years. It remains a favorite.

I almost named my Aussie “Rontu” after the dog in the book, but the ex didn’t like it.
