When Maui came back to earth, his brothers made fun of him and wouldn't take him out fishing.

This charming tale of Maui of the Thousand Tricks is accompanied by the brilliant, sun-splashed artwork of illustrator Frane Lessac.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPeter 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.

How Maui Defied the Goddess of Death is the story of how Maui sets out to find the Goddess, succeeds, and is reborn.
