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 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. Told from an indigenous perspective and set in a contemporary Hawaiian world where all the Hawaiian myths and legends are real, the series explores belonging, adoption, being different, bullying, defining family, destiny vs. self-determination, and learning to turn weaknesses into strengths. Through the series, Zader discovers he's not really a boy allergic to water; he's something much more special, dangerous, and powerful. His adoptive brother Jay discovers what happens when the golden surfing star falls from his pedestal and has to choose to make the long climb back from serious injury. It's the ties that bind and support the brothers that allow them to create their own destinies. As typical local islanders, characters use common Hawaiian and Pidgin words and phrases. The meaning is usually clear from the context, but there is also a Hawaiian & Pidgin Glossary for additional support. Each chapter begins with a related island word or phrase and its definitions. A Discussion Guide for book club or classroom use is included. Free additional classroom support materials are available on www.NiuhiSharkSaga.com. One Boy, No Water, Book 1 in the Niuhi Shark Saga, was a 2017 Nene Award Nominee. The Nene Award is Hawaii's Children's Choice Book Award recognizing outstanding literary works.
