Kupuna Kane has a talent for writing children's books that are imaginative, fun, engaging and well-written... and in "Keoni and the Return of the Li'i" he does it again. The imaginative adventure pulls readers into the world of Keoni the Menehune once again and takes them on a lively adventure filled with magic, friendships, life lessons and adventure. The well-written novel explores a host of different cultures, providing a solid introduction to those cultures that feels authentic, charming and educational while being fun to read.Combining entertainment with a love of cultures and a wonderfully innocent and morally sound plot, this novel makes for a pleasurable read for parents and kids alike. What really brings this story to life are the little additions to the plot, from the interactive links that add more to the story to the maps, illustrations and more. This is the kind of novel that adds layer upon layer to the story and keeps kids locked into the tale from start to finish. Overall, this was a lively and charming read that if I wasn't already a fan of Kupuna Kane would have certainly made me one.
