Critic reviews
Newbery Medal Winner, 1941
"The story is wild enough to be remembered, and it cannot be remembered without doing good." (New York Herald Tribune)
"[Narrator Lou Diamond] Phillips gives this Newbery Medal classic adventure tale an outstanding performance. He so effectively develops the character of the boy that listeners feel Mafatu's terror and fierce determination to overcome his fear... Sound effects enhance the narration.... A classic example of the power of audio to enhance a beautifully told story." (AudioFile)
