September Book Shelf Book of the Month
Friday September 3rd, 2010
This September we offer two tales of survival for young teens: Island of the Blue Dophins, by Scott O’Dell, and Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. In one, a Native American girl finds herself alone on the island her people have abandoned, learning to survive without her family or clan. In the other, an American boy accustomed to the good life is stranded in the wilderness with nothing but a hatchet. Both are gripping adventures of a young person facing the elements alone. Think Robinson Crusoe for teens!
Both titles are available through our online library. Remember: If you purchase through our website, a portion of the sale goes directly to Children and Nature Saratoga!
