博客來From multiple award-winning novelist, John Blossom comes this tale of hope and magical realism. Thirteen-year-old Mahina Moemoea lives on a ranch in Hawaii. For Tutu, her grandmother, communing with the land is enough, but that’s because she doesn’t experience Mahina’s flying dreams. The family’s special powers may have killed Mahina’s mom and dad, and she tries to obey Tutu’s strict command to ignore them until her mom’s spirit entices her on a perilous underground journey to fulfill the family’s destiny of aloha to humanity.
A literary novel of generational conflict and hope and a must-read for anyone who believes that love and higher consciousness can overcome fear and greed. Sure to take its place as one of the most poignant young adult novels ever written on the subject of humanity’s relationship with nature, reading Mahina Rises is like remembering the best dream you’ve ever had and realizing it’s there for you whenever you need it.
