The author of "Island of the Blue Dolphins" is Scott O'Dell. Published in 1960, the novel tells the story of Karana, a young girl who is left alone on an island after her tribe is forced to leave. The book is inspired by the true story of Juana Maria, the last Native American to live on San Nicolas Island off the coast of California. O'Dell's work explores themes of survival, resilience, and the connection to nature.
