F is For Flip-Flops


Ahh . . . my favorite! I just love wearing FLIP-FLOPS in the nice, warm summer weather. In Hawaii, they are called slippers, so both words are used in my books (just to add a little confusion!)

So, slip your toes in and take a walk through the sand, but when you get home, be sure to leave your FLIP-FLOPS by the front door!

Join me on Thursdays as I go through the alphabet, giving you little snippets of words from All Three Books of The Hawaiian Island Detective Club. It’s the ABCs OF THE HIDC!

Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!

E Is For Evidence


Simon Howden / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

How do the kids solve the case? The physical EVIDENCE is all squished in the fields. The kids have to resort to interrogations, spying and stakeouts to catch the guilty parties. They also have to learn that sometimes the EVIDENCE doesn’t always lead them to the answers they hope to hear.

And here’s another E—the EFFECTS of the damage has a huge financial impact on the plantation as it actually takes 18 months for a pineapple to reach maturity. The kids have an important job!

In book three, Ukuleles Undercover, Leilani's math teacher, Mr. EDWARDS, befriends her mom. Hmmm, will Leilani survive?

Join me every Thursday as I go through the alphabet, giving you little snippets of words from Pineapples in Peril (Book 1 of The Hawaiian Island Detective Club.) It’s the ABCs OF THE HIDC!

D is for Detective

The kids learn quickly about all the pitfalls of being a real DETECTIVE. But they are DETERMINED to track down the culprits. In book one they save the pineapple fields from vandals. In book two, Leilani, Maile and Sam track down the Menehune statue thieves--along with Kimo's help. In book three the group nail the person responsible for threats against the music school. Yup--they are certainly Determined Detectives! 

Leilani is DEVOTED to her DAD’S memory and thinks of him often. We know very little about Mr. Akamai in book one, Pineapples in Peril, but learn more about his Death as the series continues in Menehunes Missing and Ukuleles Undercover.

Join me every Thursday as I go through the alphabet, giving you little snippets of words from the 3 books in The Hawaiian Island Detective Club series. It’s the ABCs OF THE HIDC!
