Book Description
Peter Gossage's Maui series is well-known and loved. The six titles in the series have been repackaged and redesigned for a new generation of readers, without losing the integrity of the initial artwork. The books follow Maui's birth, his abandonment by his mother and his search for her, his search for his father and discovery and eventual owners of his grandfather's magic jawbone, and his fishing up of Te Ika a Maui (the North Island). How Maui Defied the Goddess of Death is the story of how Maui sets out to find the Goddess, succeeds, and is reborn.
