Island of the Blue Dolphins would be good for fourth grade.
It is based on the true story of a Native American woman who
was the last of her tribe on one of the Catalina Islands off
the coast of Santa Barbara. There are many connections to
social studies, and science, as well, as she learns about the
animals on the island.

For the language study part of the unit, you might try the
Grammargator Guide for the novel. It is available on my
website, grammargator.com, along with a free teachers' guide.
