Images, thorough explanations, and a map will help ensure that you are never lost throughout your journey. Let us know if you come across anything we missed in the comments below! Together as we all stumble upon new permutations within each Tall Tale, the Rare Thief crew will continue enriching these guides for all the pirates set to embark upon their Tall Tale adventure!

If you are looking for the Shores of Gold journal locations, we also have a guide here to help you find them all for each Tall Tale. How about make some clear guidelines for most of these quests? Maybe you should watch someone play the game instead of playing it… try Twitch or Youtube. I personally think those guides are very clear and easy to understand, even too easy if you still want to figure out most of the things yourself.

This guide could use some clarification but we did make it work, and managed to be among the first first 0. Thanks for this guide, it helped loads on parts we got stuck on. Congrats on completing it all! We would love to keep refining them to help future pirates! My crew got killed and never got to take the skull back. Spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. Will not do it twice. Yep that was the biggest waste of time… Finally finished everything and just after I come back out of the fog I get attacked by a kracken. Great guide I do like the fact that you still need to use your skull.

We just need Rare to fix that pesky bug in Fate of the Morning Star. Hello, I just find out that I am really masochist.. Few more atempts to kill Gold Hoarder, every time the same effect, each time he is eating banana, but I am to slow in killing him. Please do anybody know if type of boat sloop-galeon , or solo play, have effect on his lives? Because I allways trying it with galeon, but we are mostly two in final fight not four..

Thanks a lot. Ahoy there!

Have you come across any other updates we are missing? The story of a mother who left his son in the Philippines to work in London but as you read on this particular mother never forgets his son and shows him that she loves him and that she is doing her best to be with Bernardo soon. With regards to the idea of siblings who are raised in different sides of the continents. The fact that the other sibling was raised in London and the other one who was raised in a baryo in the Philippines.

This book has so m This is interesting and I enjoyed this book.. This book has so much Filipino values like how Filipinos are close to each other, the values parents teaches their kids, to still respect the elders, on how we Filipinos show are love to our family and even our friends, here you can still see the "mano po" gesture which all Filipinos are accustomed to. This is my first time reading about the legend of Bernardo Carpio which was really interesting and it is interesting enough that I like this book already even if I was starting to read its few chapters. I also love this because yes basketball, this also shows how Pinoys are so into that sport.

Filipinos generally adores basketball, in here you get a big fan base.

The depiction of Mad Nena and her daughter was one of the highlights in this book which i really like. The superstition and all was very indigenous to us Filipinos. I definitely love how well this book is written in Bernardo and Andi's point of view. Also I love how the book ends. It's very Filipino with regards to a family's love. I love Andi's father on how he accepts Bernardo as his son. And in the end everything is fine even in San Andres everything worked out really well in the end.

A lovely, heart-warming story about a boy from the province who ends up coming home to his family in London.

I love how it breathes of provincial superstitions and modern living. The myth of Bernardo Carpio takes a special place in these pages, while family love is featured heavily next to basketball point guards. The dialogue is very believable, and the characters are presented well. Lovely storytelling, and a great story that moves mountains- almost literally. Currently playing at a 4. Full review pending. Shelves: , fiction , filipino. Originally posted here. Tall Story is a touching, poignant story about family, sibling love, infusion of cultures, and sports.

More specifically, the novel tackles the importance of being with our families, appreciating and taking care of our siblings, Filipino and British cultures their similarities and differences , and the love of basketball. Take all these ingredients together, and here's a lovely story that will inevitably leave a mark in the reader's heart. Bernardo is a sixteen-year-old Originally posted here. Bernardo is a sixteen-year-old full-blooded Filipino who lives with his aunt and uncle in the barrio of San Andres, Montalban province, waiting for his immigration papers to be approved so that he could be reunited with his family in London: his mother Mary Ann, her British husband Tim, and his half-sister, Andi.

At 16, he stands 8 feet tall - lanky and huge and awkward and, poor boy, suffering from gigantism. See, Andi loves basketball with all her heart, and she was looking forward to playing in her school's girls basketball team - that is, until circumstances forcibly take away that one thing from her. A shame, too, because she never misses a basket. Their tale begins with the arrival of Bernardo at Heathrow. Cleverly infused into the story is the Philippine mythological epic hero, Bernardo Carpio, a giant; the people of earthquake-prone San Andres staunchly believe that their own gentle giant, Bernardo, is the reincarnation of the persona of the epic hero.

The various aspects of everyday life, colorful characters and infusion of cultures therefore make Tall Story a very interesting and fun read. Unfortunately, these flawlessly interwoven arcs and character traits also make for a rather predictable storyline. Feel-good vibes notwithstanding. We talked about our siblings, our relationships with them, and we showed our appreciation for the people we consider our siblings among the members of the club.

The discussion was short but no less rewarding, and I have learned to appreciate sibling relationships — enough to work on mine, perhaps someday. This book is more middle grade or younger YA for me, just to give you guys fair warning. The story is told in alternating perspectives of Bernardo and Andi real name: Amandolina, such an old school Filipino name. Andi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives in London with her parents.

She has a half-brother named Bernardo and he lives in the Philippines. Their mum came to the UK to work as a nurse and that's when she met Andi's father, who also works as a nurse. They've be Originally posted here. They've been trying to get Bernardo to the UK ever since they settled down but the immigration process is taking a long time. Andi can't wait to meet her brother because she's crazy about basketball and her mum says Bernardo is tall.

Also, basketball is a popular sport in the Philippines so Bernardo must love basketball! Bernardo is sixteen when he receives the news that he can finally go to his family in the UK.

The story focuses on Bernardo's experiences as he adjusts to a new life in a foreign country with a family that he loves but doesn't really know. Bernardo is tall, awkward and shy but he strives to do all that he can for his friends and family. Andi is a spirited tomboy of a girl and she's determined to play basketball even if she doesn't have the height for it. I think it was a good idea to tell the story from both of their points of view because it gives the readers a better idea of the whole situation. It's easier for us to understand what both of them were going through.

Tall Story is a heartwarming, hilarious tale about friendship and family and how certain bonds can transcend the physical distance. As cheesy as this sounds, I really think this book shows how people can be involved in each other's lives even if they are continents apart. And this happens all of the time! I have friends and family all over the world and even if I don't see them that often, I still feel the connection. A lot of you readers and book blogger friends live abroad and even if I haven't met you in person, I feel like I know you. Isn't that amazing? Most people have relatives and friends abroad so I have a feeling a lot of us can relate to Bernardo's story and how hard it is to live away from those you love.

I think it's great that a Filipino author with a young adult book has been published internationally because I'd love for you guys to read this book. It has a wonderful blend of contemporary fiction and Filipino mythology, resulting in a cohesive story that has a lot of heart. Superstition plays a big part in this story because Filipinos are big on superstition, probably more so in the provinces. I also think Candy Gourlay's portrayal of Filipinos in foreign countries is pretty accurate. Andi's mum gets carded whenever she buys wine because she's such a small person.

I'm five foot flat and I had the same problem when I went to the States for a vacation. Whenever I ordered alcohol, the servers would ask for my ID and they couldn't believe that I was twenty-four years old at that time. They all used to think I was seventeen or younger.

Also, Andi doesn't understand why her mum calls her aunt in the Philippines when they spend most of their time on the phone saying "Hello? Can you hear me? They use up the call card just saying "Hello. View all 4 comments.
