Description
“Sharks on the Day of the Lifeguards” by Kawai Strong Washburn—an enchanting family saga that brings together modern times and ancient Hawaiian legends.
Noa Flores was conceived on the night when a ghostly procession of ancient warriors appeared to his parents. When Noa Flores turned seven, Hawaiian gods blessed him—at least that was what his family believed for as long as it lasted. The boy fell overboard into shark-infested water and seemed doomed to die. But one of the sharks, carefully holding Noa in its mouth, returned him to the ship. What else could it be but a sign from the gods who chose him for their purposes? And later, the boy develops special abilities… But divine gifts often have a tragic price—and the whole family will have to pay it. Washburn weaves old myths with the reality of our time, creating a surprising novel full of Hawaii’s sunny, fierce spirit, its emerald forests, and rich cultural traditions.
