Notes

Mau finds himself alone on a desert island when everything and everyone he knows and loved has been washed away in a huge tsunami. He then meets Daphne, the sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy. They are not alone for long. Other survivors start to arrive to take refuge on the island they all call the Nation, and then raiders accompanied by murderous mutineers from the Sweet Judy. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things - including how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good thing - and start to forge a new Nation. But old history isn't just going to lie down and go away and Mau must look into the past before he can face the future. Suggested level: intermediate, secondary
