Tutu is
an endearing term for Grandma. There
isn’t a “T” in the Hawaiian alphabet, but the term comes from other Polynesian
languages such as Tahitian. Kainoa refers to his grandma as Tutu, although
we never get to meet her in the story.
The Tong Plantation is where the pineapple damage is
occurring. The kids visit the plantation offices and fields several times
throughout the book while on their quest to solve the crime and bring the
vandals to justice. I loved imagining and creating this amazing plantation. I
hope your mind creates the same amazing visuals as you read!
