review 1: When Kanani cousin Rachel comes to stay for a month, kanani can't wait to show her what life is like in a friendly Hawaiian town-from eating shave ice to snorkeling with sea turtles.But Rachel seems homesick and unhappy. Kanani tries hard to help Rachel feel at home and have fun,but nothing seems to work-until an urgent animal rescue on the beach brings the girls together.Then, just as things are going well, a silly mistake threatens their fragile friendship. Kanani feels terrible and longs to reconnect with Rachel . But before she can truly help her cousin, kanani herself must learn the real meaning of the aloha spirit.
review 2: Kanani is a kind Haiwaiian girl who desperately wishes to make friends with her visiting cousin from New York. Kanani is such a swe... moreet, open-hearted girl. The cultural references in this book really help the story and characters feel authentic. Whenever they talk about something Haiwaiian it makes me want to guy somewhere foreign (preferably Hawaii) and try new foods and have cultural experiences. I just thought that Kanani's tory was very sweet. Thought the plot was anything but intriguing, I was mostly reading for the experience of seeing what Kanani's life was like and the cultural exposure. less
