"Keoni and The Trouble with Shamrocks" is another cute little story in the Keoni the Menehune series that celebrates that Hawaiian cultures and delves into myths and folklore around the world. Kupuna Kane continues to create memorable stories that capture the imagination, spark conversation about different cultures and teaches wonderfully valuable lessons to kids that add to their development while entertaining them.This time around Keoni has his hands full with Irish Leprachauns, magic, mischief and fun that had a smile on my face the whole way through. The author captures the humor, spirit and adventure perfectly... drawing readers into Keoni's adventures with vivid imagery, memorable characters, wonderful plot twists and a general lightheartedness that just makes the story all the more enjoyable.The novel is well-written with a fast pace, a smooth tone and a great deal of forethought about presenting the cultures and folklore legends in a delightful way. From start to finish this was a charming little novel for kids and adults alike that made for an enjoyable read. As always, the story left me eager to read for about Keoni's adventures in the next book in the Keoni the Menehune series.
