a tale of courage and adventure
"Moana has lived on the island of Motunui her whole life, just like her parents before her and their parents before them. ... As the daughter of the chief, Moana knows that one day the village and all its inhabitants will be her responsibility. This is a bit daunting, particulary as a piece of her has always longed to explore the seas beyond their reef--something that has long been forbidden. But when a legendary darkness threatens their island, Moana must venture on the voyage of a lifetime to find an ancient demigod and right past wrongs. Soon Moana learns that sailing beyond the reef is much more difficult than she ever imagined. Will she [be] able to save her people in time?"--Back cover.
