Title: Pass this book by
Review: This is a story about a boy named Mafatu from Polynesia. Mafatu is scared of the ocean. This is because his mother died in it when he was very young. Mafatu, son of the great cheif, was called the boy who was afraid, and while all of the other boys where out fishiing, Mafatu stayed on the island and made them tools. Mafatu's only freinds where his dog and a bird. One day, to prove to every one that he could go in the ocean he went out on a canoe, but a storm came and he and his dog ended up on an island. This book is about this boy and his dog on the island and trying to get home. I did not like this book very much. It was not funny, and it didn't have much action. I also thought that the plot was pretty boring. It did have some good parts. This book would be good for you if you want to learn about the Polonesian native's culture. It shows their different jobs, what they wear, their type of trophys, and other tribes close by.
