<p>Hi, mystery lovers! I’m Tess, and welcome back to <em>The Mystery Kids Podcast!</em> Today, we’re heading far out into the ocean—to a lonely island off the coast of California—to discover the mysterious true story of <em>the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island.</em></p><p>If you’ve ever read the book <em>Island of the Blue Dolphins,</em> you might remember a brave girl named Karana. She lived all alone on an island, surviving through storms, wild dogs, and years of solitude. But did you know that story was inspired by a <em>real person</em>?</p><p><br /></p><p></p><p><a href="https://forms.gle/LnvREY56i7WrBBmV8" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠Birthday Shout Out Form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/themysterykidspodcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.harborandsprout.com/?ref=MKP" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code MKP for Harbor &amp; Sprout⁠⁠</a></p><p>Become a <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mysterykidspod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themysterykidspodcast/subscribe" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or a Subscriber on Spotify!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3WM9stx" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Island of the Blue Dolphin</a></p><p></p>
