Amazon.com description: Product Description:

CALL IT COURAGE


Mafatu's name means "Stout Heart," but his people call him a coward. Ever since the sea took his mother's life and spared his own, he has lived with deep fear. And even though his father is the Great Chief of Hikueru -- an island whose seafaring people worship courage -- he is terrified, and so scorned.


By the time he is fifteen years old, Mafatu can bear it no longer. He must conquer his fear alone...even if it means certain death.


This classic tale of a young boy's hidden strength has been a favorite of readers of all ages since its 1940 publication -- and this handsome new edition preserves its original illustrations in all their beauty.
