An exciting follow-up to
Lei and the Fire Goddess
features a mysterious, invisible island, dangerous spirits, and a newcomer who does
not
need Lei's help...or does she?
It turns out that curses
are
real.
After saving her best friend and ancestral guardian, Kaipo, from Pele the fire goddess’s traps and successfully preventing lava from destroying her tūtū’s house, all Lei wants to do is
take a nap
. The only problem? Kaipo’s ʻaumakua pendant is missing, and without it, he will soon rot . . . emotionally and physically.
So Lei, Kaipo, the shapeshifting bat Ilikea, and newcomer Kaukahi—a fiercely independent fashionista—set off on a journey to an invisible island where they hope to find Kaipo’s pendant. To get there, they’ll have to jump off the edge of their world, contend with sharks, and cross an ocean. And when they arrive? The crew realizes that the missing pendant is the least of their problems. For there are evil spirits gathering, and they’re out for blood.
In this exciting follow-up to
, Malia Maunakea crafts a tale about friendship, family, culture, and what it means to forgive each other and yourself.
