Review: The Adventures of Taiwaka!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 3, 2012
This third book in the "Tiki Bar" series begins in the jungles of Maui and ends in the urban civilization of Waikiki.  It deals with Taiwaka's astounding flight in a storm, his hookup with ghost legends, inhumane captivity (of both birds and humans), communication with sea creatures, fatherhood, salvation, and (of course) surfing.  I recommend this book to young and old alike as a departure from the first two in the series--a G-rated adventure that also demonstrates the author's love of the Hawaiian Islands, be they primitive or developed.
