Lemon Shark Press is pleased to announce the publication of PUNAHOU BLUES by Honolulu poet and novelist Kirby Wright. This nostalgic coming of age novel is set on a private high school campus in Honolulu during the turbulent 60s and 70s. The boy narrator's rite of passage includes losing the girl of his dreams, dealing with his father's great expectations, fighting the school bully, and outwitting the class dean.

"The best novel of Hawaii I've read…ever."
—Joseph Bean, MAUI WEEKLY

"A flashback of the highest order."
-Burl Burlingame, HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN

"Wright's believable and smooth-reading story touches on the complexities of multicultural Hawaii in the 60s and 70s, Killahaole Day, prejudices against (and within) Punahou High School, and the then tricky matter of interracial dating.”
-Staff, HONOLULU ADVERTISER
