Work Description
Story of a young girl abandoned on a small island by her family and her village, and of her fight for survival.
The incredible courage, determination and strength of this girl is showcased throughout as she learns to do the things that only the men of her tribe did before, and battles not only the hunters who frequent the island, but also her desperate loneliness as well...
Excellent read for kids 11 and older.
