"Punahou Blues"
By Kirby Wright
Lemon Shark, $14.95

The writing here, by short-story whiz Wright, is deceptively simple, but it takes you right back into the turbulent social and political world of high-school Hawaii in the '60s and '70s. Wright has crafted a flashback of the highest order.

This is a handy little guide that's heavier on the Hawaiian than on the English. That is, it's for people who are serious about learning Hawaiian.
