Who would like this book? I recommend this book for children 12 years of age or older because of the mature content. If you like suspenseful adventure stories, then you would like this book.
The goods on this book: It was the day Mau would become a man, a true man of the Nation. Mau would finally get his tattoos and weapons, or will he not? The Nation was washed away by a tsunami which brought with it a large wooden ship named the Sweet Judy. The only people who survived the tsunami were Mau, the Nation boy, and Daphne, the girl from whatever wealthy empire she came from. These two children must now find a way to communicate with each other, understand each other and know each other. But how?
