Name that book?

[Rick]

When I was in grade 5 - we read a book as a class - mind you I was a rebel and didn't pay much attention at the time - and I ended up gettin' suspended and missed a majority of what happened in the book. I'd like to read this book, and see what happened since I missed it the first time. All I remember about the book is the cover and the beginning.

 

The cover is purple/pink and has a silhoette (possibly) of an indian girl with a spear over looking the ocean/sea. I believe, she was on a raft stranded at sea and landed on an island and had to fend for herself - learn how to survive or something? she may have swam with dolphins or something :/ I've tried googling pics of it but nothin' helped :/ so it's up to you's to find it and I really hopes you do!

It rang a book bell in my brain, although I don't think I've actually read it.

 

Glad it's the right one.

Island of the Blue dolphins sounds right, I think I read it about 3 times in school. There's a sequel too, can't remember the title but it wasn't as good.
