KeALOHA - The KEEPERAn action packed, vivid submersion into Hawaiian mythology, perfect for action/fantasy lovers, age nine through seventeen – particularly those craving a refreshing thrill!
Using reader submersion in lieu of traditional storytelling, Emel Kay has literally stuffed a live, screaming movie between the covers of her first novel. Fast paced, compelling, and bursting with life, "KeAloha - The Keeper" goes far beyond any other publication of Hawaiian mythology, penning secret knowledge and customs which were previously conveyed only through stories chanted amongst the Hawaiian people. And to sweeten the pot for her young readers, Emel Kay delivers an unforgettable, 360º twist at the end of her delightful, heartwarming tale.
KeALOHA - The KEEPER (Paperback Original, Lulu Press, April 1, 2005) by Emel Kay. Neglected by a mysteriously dysfunctional family, a young girl with a great destiny is hurled into the dark, exciting world of Hawaii's gods. Here, she learns what it means to be Hawaiian, and how to live like a Hawaiian, by participating in exciting, interactive displays of their history, beliefs and social customs - and in the end, despite all the hurdles thrown in front of this unwanted child, she learns the most valuable lesson of all … how to love.
