Children of the sun

After years of living peacefully among an uninhabited island the world just about flips upside down for the settling tribe. A dreaded, but all too familiar, ship smashes against the reef as it is adrift. However vulnerable the people aboard may seem they literally manage to plague the Indians. The narrater, her two brothers, and what's left of her tribe have no choice other than to endure the dangers of vengeful sea creatures and hold out hope for what looks like a dim future. Joining another tribe who strangely live among trees and in tipis, they are able to avoid almost certain death on the exotic island and can secure themselves from danger. Adventure follows adventure as they explore the island, chase after strange new creatures, encounter wild beasts, plant crops, tame flamingos, and adopt a variety of unusual pets they call friends. Although there are many hardships can the narrator and her family live in peace or will everything continue to come crashing down around her?
