U is for Undercover . . .

What fun to go Undercover! At least that’s what Leilani thinks. But sneaking around, spying and planning a stakeout brings on many problems she never imagined.

Go ahead and laugh as you read about the kids’ predicaments—and how they get out of them and eventually solve the mystery.

Leilani is not too thrilled about her Undercover mission in Ukuleles Undercover. Yup, she has to attend Kimo's Ukulele class to find out who's threatening the music school. Oh my! Isn't she going to have fun!?!

When you read any of the books from the Hawaiian Island Detective Club Series, you’ll discover the unique chapter headings. Umi means “ten” in Hawaiian. Each chapter in the teens becomes “ten plus one,” “ten plus two,” etc. So, ten, eleven and twelve become: Umi, Umikumakahi and Umikumalua. Keep trying to pronounce those chapter headings! Just wait until you see the twenties!! Yikes!

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!
