Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

Un jeune marin en a assez de son baleinier, alors, sur une île verte du Pacifique, il s'échappe avec son ami Toby. Ils grimpent dans une vallée cachée tenue par les Taïpis, un peuple que les autres insulaires craignent comme mangeurs d'hommes. Les Taïpis le nourrissent, soignent sa jambe blessée, et le laissent nager et festoyer avec eux. Mais ils ne le laisseront pas partir. Est il un invité bienvenu, ou un prisonnier au paradis ?
