I lived in Hawaii for several years, but having moved there as an adult, I missed out on a lot of local history and legend. The Keoni trilogy is a children's series, but it's honestly a fantastic way to get to know a little bit more about the islands and customs. Even though this series is fictional, it's pretty fun to read and brought back some good memories of my time there. I especially enjoyed reading the local vocabulary. It's been a long time since I heard anyone say mahalo. :)The illustrations are beautiful, making this something that my sons would really enjoy reading with me. The intro explains the history of the trilogy and how it came to be. A fun read for families, well-written, and the illustrations really make the book.
