Lei and the Fire Goddess

Malia Maunakea

Twelve-year-old Lei spends her summers in Hawaiʻi with her grandmother, who wants her to know the family’s moʻolelo. The stories and legends mean little to Lei’s friends in Colorado, but an insult to Pele, the fire goddess, changes that. Pele takes Lei’s best friend and curses her family, leaving Lei to confront the reality of the legends and seek a way to undo the curse. A cursed flower and mythical forces are part of her journey.
