It was very sad at the end and I was crying. It was realistic fiction based on a true story.
It is about a girl on an island -- she leaves a ship to save her brother but he dies being attacked by the wild dogs. She was stuck on the island for 18 years. She almost killed the leader of the wild dogs but then she changes her mind and decides not to kill him so she keeps him as a pet -- his name was Rontu.
Then Rontu dies and his son replaces Rontu.
At the end, a ship comes to pick her up and she is taken to Santa Barbara, California.
