Bookroo's summary

Lei's quest to find a missing pendant takes her to an invisible island, where she faces sharks, an ocean crossing, and malevolent spirits. Joined by her friend Kaipo, a shapeshifting bat, and a fiercely independent newcomer, Lei must navigate this perilous journey. As they confront curses and hidden dangers, the stakes rise: can they retrieve the pendant and escape the island's dark forces? In this tale of friendship and forgiveness, Lei discovers that the true challenge lies not just in the journey, but in understanding herself and those she loves.

From the publisher

An exciting follow-up to Lei and the Fire Goddess features a mysterious, invisible island, dangerous spirits, and a newcomer who does not need Lei’s help…or does she? It turns out that curses are real. After saving her best friend and ancestral guardian, Kaipo, from Pele the fire goddess’s traps and successfully preventing lava from destroying her tūtū’s house, all Lei wants to do is take a nap. The only problem? Kaipo’s ʻaumakua pendant is missing, and without it, he will soon rot . . . emotionally and physically. So Lei, Kaipo, the shapeshifting bat Ilikea, and newcomer Kaukahi–a fiercely independent fashionista–set off on a journey to an invisible island where they hope to find Kaipo’s pendant. To get there, they’ll have to jump off the edge of their world, contend with sharks, and cross an ocean. And when they arrive? The crew realizes that the missing pendant is the least of their problems. For there are evil spirits gathering, and they’re out for blood. In this exciting follow-up to Lei and the Fire Goddess, Malia Maunakea crafts a tale about friendship, family, culture, and what it means to forgive each other and yourself.
