Lei and the Fire Goddess

Malia Maunakea's thrilling Hawaiian debut - now in paperback!

Description

Lei and the Fire Goddess by Malia Maunakea is a thrilling Hawaiian debut, now available in paperback!

Curses aren't real. At least, that's what twelve-year-old, part-Hawaiian Anna Leilani Kamaʻehu believes when she listens to her grandmother's folktales about sacred flowers and family guardians. Anna's friends back home in Colorado don't believe in legends, either. They're more interested in science and sports—real, tangible things that stand in total contrast to Anna's family's embarrassing stories.

However, when Anna returns to Hawaiʻi to visit her Tūtū, she is more interested in having a touristy, fun vacation than becoming the heir to her family's history. But after Anna accidentally insults Pele, the fire goddess, by destroying her lehua blossom, a giant hawk swoops in and kidnaps her best friend. She quickly learns just how real these moʻolelo are.

To save her friends and family, Anna must battle mythical creatures, team up with demigods and talking bats, and evade the traps Pele sets in her path.

If Anna hopes to undo the curse, she will need to dig deep into her Hawaiian roots and learn to embrace all of who she is.

About the Author

Malia Maunakea is a part-Hawaiian writer who grew up in the rainforest on the Big Island before moving to a valley on Oʻahu in seventh grade. She relocated to the continent for college, and when she isn't writing can be found roaming the Colorado Rocky Mountains with her husband, their two children, and a rescue mutt named Peggy.
