Lehua Parker

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.

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.

Niuhi Shark Saga

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

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.
