#1
One Boy, No Water
2012
I’m doomed.
I’m Zader, the one who sits at the beach pavilion while my brother Jay surfs. It’s not enough that I’m the weird kid allergic to water. I’m the favorite punching bag of the Blalahs, a couple of mouth breathers who terrorize me simply because they can. Being adopted by the Westins made me part of their ‘ohana, but it didn’t make me normal, no matter how hard Jay fights for me.
When Jay and my friend Char Siu go to prestigious Ridgemont Academy next year, I’ll be suffering at Lauele High School. Uncle Kahana is teaching me Lua so I can defend myself, but the Blalahs are determined to catch me when Jay’s not around.
Everybody loves Jay. Me, too. Sometimes I wish I could be him.
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 in my chest 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 one in the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy. Set in a world where Pacific myths and legends come to life, fans of Disney’s Moana, Lilo & Stitch, The Karate Kid, and the Percy Jackson series will love One Boy, No Water; One Shark, No Swim; and One Truth, No Lie.

#2
One Shark, No Swim
2013
In Hawaii, things are looking up for adopted fourteen-year-old Zader Kaonakai Westin.
He’s headed to Ridgemont Academy in the fall with his brother Jay and friend Char Siu. The Blalahs have moved onto new targets, Jay’s surfing again, and with Uncle Kahana’s help, they’ve figured out how Zader can join them on the beach and on the reef at Piko Point.
Not bad for the weird kid with the water allergy.
But Zader has questions he can’t let go. Like who his birth parents are, who is The Man with Too Many Teeth, and how did Dream Girl’s imaginary lei end up in his bed? Who are the Niuhi, and if the Uncle Kahana’s Hawaiian legends are true, even out of the water, is anyone ever safe?
It’s going to push Zader, Jay, and Char Siu beyond their limits to solve the Niuhi Shark Saga.
In a world where Pacific myths and legends come to life, fans of Disney’s Moana and Lilo & Stitch, The Karate Kid, and the Percy Jackson series will love the second book in The Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy.

One Truth, No Lie
2016
After jumping into the ocean at Piko Point, life will never be the same for fourteen-year-old Zader Kaonakai Westin, the adopted boy allergic to water.
Zader's answers to who his birth parents are only leave him with more questions. When confronted by The Man With Too Many Teeth, he's given an ultimatum: take away what's most important to his brother Jay and live in exile from his Hawaiian family or watch as The Man with Too Many Teeth murders Jay.
Zader's decision leads him on an adventure to discover his Niuhi family, how his art can change the world, and how family is defined by more than blood.
Devastated by his loss, Jay's anger burns white-hot. This time it's going to take Uncle Kahana, Nili-boy, and the Na Koa Wounded Warriors to get Jay back into the water.
Their alliance fractured, Jay, Zader, and Char Siu must work to reunite their family. After all, when Hawaiian gods are involved, destiny is not always what it appears.
In a world where Pacific myths and legends come to life, fans of Disney's Moana and Lilo & Stitch, The Karate Kid, and the Percy Jackson series will love the conclusion to The Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy.
