Reviews for Island of the Blue Dolphins: The Complete Reader´s Edition
"Exercising formidable rigors of forensic investigation while divulging some devilishness in the details of Island of the Blue Dolphins . . . editor Sara L. Schwebel delivers a veritable exegesis. She has produced a valuable and innovative work, a sort of literary autopsy."
