Olá, meu nome é Finn e vou ajudar você a entender este livro.

Aqui está, explicado como se você tivesse 10 anos:

Um jovem marinheiro está farto do seu navio baleeiro, por isso numa ilha verde do Pacífico foge com o seu amigo Toby. Sobem para um vale escondido guardado pelos Typees, um povo que os outros ilhéus temem como comedores de homens. Os Typees alimentam-no, cuidam da sua perna magoada e deixam-no nadar e festejar com eles. Mas não o deixam partir. Será ele um hóspede bem-vindo, ou um prisioneiro no paraíso?
