New books by Hawaii authors

"Red Sky at Night,"
by Bill Bigelow
(Author House, $24)

Bigelow, a Navy and public-relations veteran, has constructed a fast-paced military thriller that also reads as a plausible meditation on the scary art of brinksmanship. Also a terrific example of the print-on-demand medium, although authors really need tips on typography.

"The Fish and Their Gifts,"
by Joshua Kaiponohea Stender
(Kamehameha Schools Press, $15.95)

Ten students from one of Kamehameha's charter schools created this charming, thoughtful book, and the illustrations are first-rate. Flip it over and it's all repeated in Hawaiian! Cool.

"The Six Wrinkled Woos of Hawai'i,"
by Lois Czarnecki and Laura Almada
(Mutual, $16.95)

We first met the family of many-folded Shar-pei dogs in the early '90s, when this book became one of Hawaii's breakthrough childrens title. It been re-released with a fuzzy-textured cover and glottal stops.
