Call it Courage

Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry
Review by Nathan:
Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry is about Mafatu who lives on an island in the Pacific.  His native Pacific tribe makes fun of him because of his fear of the sea.  He has to face the sea.  He ends up in a storm like the one that killed his mother and almost killed him.  He wrecks on an island which contains a sacred place to some cannibals.

This book talks a lot about courage; basically making it the theme of the book.  I like the survival aspect of the book; how Mafatu made his own canoe, tools and fished/hunted for his own food.  Mafatu's people did worship several gods.  This book is very exciting to read.
