This book explores what would have happened if Moana and Maui failed to return the heart of Te Fiti and it was destroyed instead. Maui is turned to stone, and Moana is cursed by Te Ka. Her grandmother guides her to another lost girl who failed to save her island from the spreading blight. Together, Moana and Noe traverse the realm of monsters to find Te Fiti's tears to restore the heart.

I enjoyed How Far I’ll Go; the depth given in a novel was such a lovely visit back into Moana’s world. Keala Kendall did so with such care and detail into Moana’s mind while expanding upon a world I’ve come to know.

I had so much fun reading this one! The pacing was good, with a nice blend of character development, action, and world-building. I loved the nods to the movie and the further exploration of mythologies, stories, and oral traditions of the Islands. Essentially, there was even more of what made the movie so great (in my opinion). I think readers that enjoyed the movie, or fairy tale retellings or mythology stories in general would love this one. This is one of the best entries that I've read in this series.

I loved this book! I am a huge Disney fan and these books are some of my favorites as an adult. I did think some of the first chapters were a bit boring. It did have too many background context. However, it did speed up around pages 60-75. I can’t wait to buy this for my classroom! My students will love this book.

As someone unfamiliar with the Twisted Tales series, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but How Far I’ll Go turned out to be a delightful surprise. Aimed at young readers (ideally ages 9-15) who already know and love Moana, this book keeps the heart of the original story while offering just enough of a twist to feel fresh. At times, I felt like I had made a clearly WRONG choice in a Moana-themed Choose Your Own Adventure book!

While it may not dive too deep or break new ground, it’s an enjoyable read that feels familiar in the best way. Great for fans ready to set sail on their own reading adventures. Thank you, NetGalley!

This is a fun read about Moana and part of the Twisted Tale series. I love this series and always look forward to reading the next book in the series. This one didn't disappoint. Highly recommend!

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 to figure out things that the main characters couldn’t see, but the clues are perfect for younger readers to piece together more slowly. The setting descriptions were well done and each main character was well developed.

Thank you to #NetGalley for an eARC of #HowFarI’llGo in exchange for honest feedback. 3.5 stars rounded up
