The Hilu Fish and the Lava Pool: A Tale of the Kumulipo (Tales of the Kumulipo Book 2)
the tale of young hilu fish trapped in a lava pool and facing death with only a hermit crab to keep her company. The Tales of the Kumulipo are new fables and myths inspired by the ancient book of Hawaiian myth.

"There is something strange about life," said the hermit crab, "a kind of rhythm. You fall into danger or despair, then you get out of it. You are happy, then you are sad, then you are happy again. You have bad luck, then you have good luck. I couldn’t say whether there is more bad luck in life than good luck, but there is quite a lot of both. It seems to be that way, no matter how hard we chase happiness or try to avoid trouble. When you're in danger, or in bad luck, or in unhappiness, it's a safe bet that safety and good luck and happiness are right around the corner, even though you almost never know when it’s going to come.”
