Reading this book aloud to my granddaughter, and grandson, has given me the opportunity to share the customs and memories of my homeland, Hawaii nei, that I knew as a child. From a literary perspective it flows well, and keeps their attention, and mine, too! More importantly the values demonstrated in the story captures the "aloha spirit" in a timely, appropriate setting. Whether it is loyalty to her family, compassion towards her friend, or selfless efforts to save a monk seal; the story is placed in a setting that young children can be exposed to multicultural perspectives while learning lifelong qualities of an honorable living and quality social skills.
Love this book!

very well written book. American girl books are innocent and great for young girls. Each story gives the "flavor" of the place the girl in the story is from. I highly recommend American girl books to anyone but especially girls who like to read chapter books.
American Girl, it's ok
