### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    No better story about courage for 10-year-olds
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023*

A coming-of-age story that is perfect for getting conversations going about virtues and values. Topics like survival, toughness, perspective, self-defense, heroism, and determination as well as bullying are the themes that come up. Don't read this book unless you are serious about reading a thought-provoking story. At least, that's what my students say.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A must read for every 11Y-old boy!
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2023*

Exciting. Emotional. Dangerous. Perilous. Triumphant. Joyful. A young boy, wrongfully shunned. Forced out on his own. Confronts terror, hurricanes, starvation, wild beasts, & dun dun dun…CANNIBALS! Survives on his own. Will he ever be reunited w his father to showcase his courage, courage that found on his own?

    Excellent Value For The Money!
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2012*

This is a golden classic piece of children's literature that EVERYONE should read at least once, and this text is quite good.In this story, the Polynesian boy, Mafatu, who has always been afraid of the sea -- a serious handicap for a child who lives on an island, and amidst a people who worship courage -- goes forth, alone, with only his pet dog and albatross, in a stolen canoe and makes his way to a deserted island to prove his courage agaainst the sea creatures, the animals on the land (wild boars, for instance), and the sea itself. And, overshadowing all, is Mafatu's one terrible discovery -- the island he is currently on is a sacred ritual meeting place for cannibals!Can Mafatu prove himself, construct a new canoe (the one he had was destroyed on the coral reef and lost in the storm which shipwrecked him on the island) and flee before the dreaded "eaters-of-men" return to exact their terrible revenge upon him for profaning their "motu tabu" -- the Forbidden Island?---There are a few typo's (very few, and very far between) -- a "runtogether" word on occasion, for example, or the word "galaxies" spelled with two "l"s ("gallaxies"), and the like. But otherwise, really excellent.My main complaint with this Kindle version -- and the only reason I only gave it four stars instead of five -- is that apart from the front and back covers, THIS BOOK IS NOT ILLUSTRATED in any way whatsoever.In PRINTED versions, there are at least TWO possible sets of drawings for this book, depending on which illustrator is doing whichever printed version you have (I believe one set was done by Mr. Armstrong Sperry himself); both sets are REALLY excellent; and neither one is included in this Kindle edition. While this probably accounts for this Kindle edition's extremely low cost, it is most definitely a trade-off -- I would very gladly have paid a LOT more in exchange for a full set of illustrations!Overall, though, a truly excellent value, and I do recommend its purchase!All of that being said, however, I do, very STRENUOUSLY, recommend that the editors issue an illustrated version of this classic -- either as a replacement for, or as an independent edition of, this version. The illustrations REALLY DO add that much to the value of this book!!!
