Mafatu is the son of the Great Chief of Hikueru, a race of Polynesian people who admire courage above all else. However, Mafatu is not courageous--he has been afraid of the sea ever since the drowning death of his mother. All of the Hikueruan people know that Mafatu fears the sea, and they taunt him constantly. Finally, tired of the continual harassment, Mafatu sets out to prove the he is courageous. Determined to conquer his fear forever Mafatu set off on a sea journey in a canoe, with only his dog and an albatross for company. Winner of the 1941 Newbery Medal.

Synopses
Relates how Mafatu, a young Polynesian boy whose name means Stout Heart, overcomes his terrible fear of the sea and proves his courage to himself and his people.
First Line
It happened many years ago, before the traders and missionaries first came into the South Seas, while the Polynesians were still great in numbers and fierce of heart. But even today the people of Hikueru sing this story in their chants and tell it over the evening fires. It is the story of Mafatu, the Boy Who Was Afraid.
