Heart of a Samurai, by Margi Preus


Heart of a Samuraii:
 This story is about a young Japanese boy and his friends. They are fishing on a boat, when a bad storm wrecks them upon Segull Island, with no food or water.

 Then they are rescued by Americans, the boys believing to be monsters, with strange food, foreign language and strange boats.

    The sailors take the boys to the island of Hawaii where they learn to work, and feed themselves. Instead, the boy is fascinated by the Americans rather than frightend.

    Soon, he chooses to live with the Americans instead of going back to Japan.

    This story is about bravery, trust, and exploring new things. I recomend this book, it's a Newberry Honor, and I think this is a great book, so take the time to sit down and enjoy this amazing story!
