I am reviewing a copy of Puanani and the Volcano through Bluewater Publications.

I would recommend this book to young girls or boys who have interest in knowing more about Hawaii.

This is the story of an Elementary school girl named Puanani who lives on the big island of Hawaii, and how the Kilauea volcano eruption. The story tells of her feelings of helplessness she feels as the lava flowing into ocean and that gives her a dogged determination to take save as much of the sea life as possible, especially the turtles. With her persistence she inspires her family and canoe club to help clean up the beaches and shorelines in order that they can be a safer place for the animals and people who love them.

I found the story to be well written, the characters came alive on the page, and the inspiring story would be a great way to get a discussion going on Volcanoes and the effects they have on Ocean life.

I give Puanani and the Volcano five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
