Call It Courage

The book called Call It Courage was interesting and it was good. However I didn't like it at the first time but when I kept reading I enjoyed it. The book was about a boy Mafatu who was a coward wanted to show that he was brave. Therefore he went out to the sea with his canoe and was hit by a storm so he lost almost everything. He was lost but his bird Kivi led to an island and did everthing he could do to survive. When man of eaters came he went out to the sea with his canoe and went back home. I like Mafatu's pets his dog, Uri and his bird, Kivi. I like his pets because they helped Mafatu like Kivi led Mafatu to an island and Uri helped something in the island. I think the writer wrote this story very well because I think it showed that you can be brave and other things.
