Being born and raised in Hawaii certainly has its novelty, and living on the island of O'ahu where sunshine, the smell of exotic flowers and fresh island fruit are part of daily life, can make for a laid-back lifestyle. But as an African American youth raised within a society of color, Keoni finds even Paradise can have its challenges. Keoni finds even Paradise can have its challenges. Keoni, along with his family and friends, takes the reader on an island journey of adventure, danger, and romance in a multi-cultural story with plenty of life lessons. From a mysterious discovery of old Hawaii, to a close encounter with a shark, being chased out of a rainforest by a swarm of bees, to a last-second shot to try and win a basketball game and keep a girlfriend. Keoni discovers the value of family, friendship and a lesson to listen to his young heart.
