Summary: Call It Courage
Review: The book I read was Call it Courage. It was written by Armstrong Sperry. My favorite part was when Mako and Alfa got stuck on the island. The part that was the worst to me was when Mako was made fun of. My favorite character was Mako. He was brave and had courage when he challenged the shark and got stuck on the island. The story took place on an island. I learned that if you are scared of something you should face your fear. I would recommend this book to a friend.

Summary: Action packed small book
Review: This book starts out a little slow. The action picks up in the second chapter when Mafatu goes out into the sea he has feared for so long. He is determined to show he does have the courage to be a strong man. This is a wonderful book for people of all ages.

Summary: Great
Review: I loved this book it was great. I liked how it describes the area. It is good how Arnstrong Sperry used the shark as a way to say conquer your fears and how she used the bor to say you can do anything.
