Young readers interested in sea life and volcanic activity will appreciate paragraphs detailing lava flow, and others may enjoy learning the italicized Hawaiian words that occur throughout the text. . . . a diverse cast and contemporary setting set this book apart from other volcano books." </p><p>-Kirkus Reviews</p><p><br></p><p>"Puanani became her own hero in this book. She started as a shy girl who was scared of presenting a science presentation in front of her class. When disaster strikes and earthquakes begin to occur over and over again, Puanani had to overcome another fear. The book describes how earthquakes happen and why. It also is a touching story of a young girl who stands up for what she believes in." </p><p>- Ashley Guerrero - NetGalley Reviewer</p><p><br></p><p>"I think this is a great book for young people who feel they are too helpless to do anything in their local communities, yet care about the world and people around them. What I also like about the book is that in each opening chapter, it prepares the reader for Hawaiian terms that will be used in it. Great-especially for young environmentalists!</p><p>- Chidi Onyekwere - NetGalley Reviewer</p><p><br></p><p>"This was super cute. The illustrations are simple, but fun, and go with the story well. I loved how it showed how one person can really make a difference when they care about something. And I liked the Hawaiian vocab thrown in too!" </p><p>- Jini Clausen - NetGalley Reviewer</p><p> </p><p> </p><br>
