Description
Call it Courage is a compelling, adventure story. Mafatu, a twelve-year old, is from a seafaring island tribe. Mafatu has a deep fear of all-things-ocean because he witnessed his mother’s drowning at a young age. The son of the island chief, Mafatu is considered a coward and is shamed, by the villagers, because of his fears. No longer able to stand the scorn, Mafatu takes a dugout canoe and begins paddling. The ocean is either going to claim him or he will face his fears. The adventure begins.
Personally, as an adult, I enjoyed this read as well. Call it Courage has strong character values for young readers, as Mafatu conquers his fears through his adventures.
