Please remember Island of the Blue Dolphins

I read this Scott O'Dell novel in fourth or fifth grade. Or whenever my Lisa Frank/marine biology/dolphins are my favorite animal phase was, because I know I wanted to read it because 'dolphins' was in the title. I remember actually owning it so I bet I got it from a book order. Book orders were so awesome. Owning that book new made me not realize until today that it was actually written in 1960. Anyway, it's a good book and it won the Newbery Medal, so that's nice.
