{"product_id":"call-it-courage-9780027860306","title":"Call It Courage","description":"Maftu was afraid of the sea. It had taken his mother when he was a baby, and it seemed to him that the sea gods sought vengeance at having been cheated of Mafatu. So, though he was the son of the Great Chief of Hikueru, a race of Polynesians who worshipped courage, and he was named Stout Heart, he feared and avoided tha sea, till everyone branded him a coward. When he could no longer bear their taunts and jibes, he determined to conquer that fear or be conquered-- so he went off in his canoe, alone except for his little dog and pet albatross. A storm gave him his first challenge. Then days on a desert island found him resourceful beyond his own expectation. This is the story of how his courage grew and how he finally returned home. This is a legend. It happened many years ago, but even today the people of Hikueru sing this story and tell it over their evening fires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Armstrong Sperry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 7.14w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780027860306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e15 \/ Call It Courage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSperry, Armstrong:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Armstrong Sperry (1897-1976) is the author of many books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eCall It Courage\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAll Sail Set\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLost Lagoon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHull-Down for Action\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43097766068339,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":22.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_63a1bbfa-9d94-4500-bb8f-9249b4c3dec8.jpg?v=1748613891","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/call-it-courage-9780027860306","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
