When you're allergic to water, growing up in Hawaii isn't always paradise. Everybody loves Jay. I love my brother, too. Sometimes I wish I could be him--a surfing star instead of the weird kid allergic to water, the Blalahs' favorite punching bag. But that's not the worst of it. In the middle of the night, I dream. There's a mysterious girl who lives in a magical place and acts like she knows me better than I know myself. We hide from the Man with Too Many Teeth. Some nights I wake up with my heart pounding and the urge to eat raw meat. It's just a dream, right? But then I saw him, the Man with Too Many Teeth, walking along the reef at Piko Point. Not even Jay can protect me now. __________________ One Boy, No Water is Book 1 in the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy.

One Boy, No Water

With Niuhi sharks, even out of the water, you're not safe. My dreams are nightmares. I don’t dare fall asleep. Guro Hari’s teaching me Filipino knife fighting, but I’m too scared to come out of the bathroom. I’d rather learn Lua and train with Jay and Char Siu, but Uncle Kahana won’t let me. He says it’s for our safety, but I don’t believe him. Uncle Kahana’s obsessed with Niuhi stories, Hawaiian myths about sharks in human form. If he’s right, even out of the water, no one’s safe. I have a secret knife I call Shark Tooth. I may have to use it. That thought excites me. And that’s the scariest thing of all. __________________ One Shark, No Swim is Book 2 in the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy.

The Fairy Tale Ink is proud to present these four retold stories of the classic, Cinderella. A story for every reader from best-selling and award-winning authors!! Rell Goes Hawaiian by Lehua Parker: When Rell's stepmonster brings her to Hawaii, she should've known it wasn't to celebrate her birthday. Despite Jerry Santos's aloha hospitality, being in paradise isn't all fun in the sun. Rell spends her birthday signing papers, taking care of her bratty step-siblings, and preparing for the big corporate bash she's not allowed to attend. But the luau takes a sinister turn when Rell overhears her stepmonster's true plans for the land she's acquiring. It's going to take more than Ilima's bibbity-bobbity boo for Rell to save Lauele Town and The National Abilities Surf Camp. Scattered Cinders by Angela Corbett: Hunted by people who want to use her for her magic, Cinder is a mage in hiding until a chance encounter with an infuriating and handsome man threatens to ruin it all. Now Cinder has to decide if she's going to run, or use her power to fight with him. But exposing herself means everything could go up in smoke. The Wrong Foot by Adrienne Monson: Felicia didn't dance with anyone at the ball, yet her small feet have doomed her to marry a prince she doesn't even know - a man desperate to find a mystery princess that he danced with that night. Felicia's determined to find her and get out of this forced engagement... until the prince begins to capture her heart. Time After Time by Angela Brimhall: When Cinderella gets to the ball, things begin to seem all too familiar, as if she's been there before. Time loops, evil curses and one wicked glass slipper lead this princess on an adventure she won't soon forget-until midnight.

Fractured Slipper

Everything you thought you knew about Zader is a lie. Kalei, the Man with Too Many Teeth, gave me an ultimatum: Bite Jay or watch as Kalei murders everyone I love. Kalei will do it. I have no doubt. Jay's anger is white-hot. If I take his leg, he'll never surf again. He's my brother, but he'll hunt me down and kill me for this. He won't forgive me. Either way, I end up alone. No matter what they say, I'm not Niuhi. I'm a Westin. I'm a kid, not a shark. I can't live without Jay, Char Siu, Uncle Kahana, or 'Ilima. Just me and my psycho sister Maka roaming the seas forever? No thanks. There's got to be more to my life than this. I refuse to believe that I'm a monster and a pawn in someone's cosmic game. I'm making my own rules now. __________________ One Truth, No Lie is Book 3 in the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy.
