Lei and the Invisible Island (Lei and the Legends, Bk. 2)

Now in paperback, this exciting follow-up to Lei and the Fire Goddess features a mysterious invisible island, dangerous spirits, and a newcomer who doesn’t need Lei’s help—or does she? 

After Lei saves her best friend and ancestral guardian Kaipo from traps set by the fire goddess, the ?aumakua pendant anchoring his spirit goes missing. Without it, Kaipo will gradually “rot” emotionally and physically. Lei, Kaipo, the shapeshifting bat Ilikea, and newcomer Kaukahi — a fiercely independent fashionista — set off on a perilous journey across the edge of their world, battling sharks and malicious spirits, to reach the invisible island and recover the pendant. But what awaits them there is more terrifying than they ever imagined: evil spirits gathering and threats far beyond what they bargained for. Through this adventure, the story delves deep into friendship, family, forgiveness, Hawaiian mythology, and the bonds that tie spirits, ancestors, and people together.

This book is a middle-grade fantasy steeped in Hawaiian mythology, aimed at readers around 8–12 years old.
