Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • What if Moana broke the heart of Te Fiti?

After a devastating battle with Te Kā, Moana’s worst fears are realized: the heart of Te Fiti is in ruins, Maui is frozen in volcanic rock, and darkness threatens to envelop her beloved home.  Desperate to fix things, Moana stumbles upon an island already crumbling under the blight. All life is gone, save one sole survivor—a young woman named Noe.

Moana is relieved to find another wayfarer, even if this stranger is more than a little intimidating. Better still, Noe has an idea how to fix the heart: using the tears of Te Fiti, gems infused with the goddess’s essence. The catch? The tears are said to be scattered throughout the realm of monsters. 

Banded together, Moana and Noe set a course for an impossible mission to find the powerful lost tears. Will Moana be able to restore the heart amid secrets and monsters? Or will the blight overtake everything Moana holds dear?

Goodreads review by Bethea Scovic on June 09, 2025

The first couple of chapters were somewhat boring and repetitive. Being a twisted tale, the amount of backstory reflected on in the beginning was unnecessary. However, once things picked up, the book became more interesting and the twists in the storyline were fun to follow. As an adult, it was easy......more

Goodreads review by Valerie on August 05, 2025

This was an interesting twist to Moana. I did not expect the plot to go the direction it did. I’m gonna be honest and say that this was probably 100 pages too long. It felt like a lot of it was filler information that was not needed. I think it’s misleading to say “ What if Moana Broke the Heart of......more

Goodreads review by Courtney on September 07, 2025

What a new and deeper exploration into Moana’s character! I really enjoyed the cultural exploration in this book and the depth it played in Moana’s journey. I think she may have even found a deeper meaning within herself than we saw in the movie. Noe’s character was full circle. If you pay attention......more
