Storm Boy

by Paul Owen Lewis

A story based on the myths of the Haida, Tlinglit, and other peoples of the Pacific Coast. A child's canoe capsizes, plunging him into the depths of the ocean where he discovers an environment much like earth, inhabited by creatures who are 18-feet tall. A huge party is held to welcome the boy but he eventually decides that he must return to his home. The creatures reveal themselves to be Orcas, or killer whales, and then guide the boy back to his village and family.
