Leilani Princess of the South Sea

Leilani is happy to be second in line to the throne in the land of Lana Kau. No responsibilities, no royal duties. She loves hanging out with her best friend Nawhea and the attentions of the warriors of her tribe. But when tragedy strikes, Leilani must prove her worth as the next queen of her people by testing her survival skills on an epic journey across the sea to a forbidden island. The Spirit World speaks to her along the way and offers her a magical monkey to help her as she struggles with her destiny. Teens ages 13 to 17, you will enjoy this story, especially if you want a more mature version of Disney's animated film Moana (released Nov. 2016).
