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!
I hope to see you again next Thursday as I continue through the alphabet, giving you little snippets of words from Pineapples in Peril, Menehunes Missing and Ukuleles Undercover (Books 1, 2 and 3 of The Hawaiian Island Detective Club.) It’s the ABCs OF THE HIDC!
Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!

I love those flip flops. My bass ones are not this fancy. Stay cool:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really enjoy my heeled, fancier flip-flops, but tend to "live" in the traditional flat ones. Thanks for visiting and commenting. Aloha! --Cheryl
