This book tells the story of a young boy who lives on an island. His culture values courage, of which he has none. The boy has been afraid of the sea for almost his whole life - ever since it claimed the life of his mother when he was only three. The boy decides he must conquer his fears once and for all by going on a journey at sea. The book details the trials of this journey and at many points had me at the edge of my seat, anxious to see what would become of him.
