The only problem Kaipo's aumakua pendant is missing, and without it, he will soon disintegrate . . . emotionally and physically. So Lei, Kaipo, her favorite talking bat, Ilikea, and newcomer Kaukahi-a fiercely independent fashionista-set off on a journey to an invisible island where they hope to find Kaipo's pendant. To get there, they'll have to contend with sharks, jump over a rainbow, and literally float on clouds. And when they arrive The crew realizes that the missing pendant is the least of their problems. For there are evil spirits on this island, and they're out for blood. In this exciting follow-up to LEI AND THE FIRE GODDESS, Malia Maunakea crafts a tale about friendship, family, culture, and what it means to forgive each other, and yourself.
