Description

Eleven interconnected tales tell the story of a child coming-of-age in Kailua-Kona, a Traditional fishing village. Sonny Mendoza is just a little not the same as the remainder of the males in his household. Salisbury examines figures like Aunty Gem, a complete-blooded Local as noble whilst the queens of old; awesome Port, from L.A., who begins a team and dares Sonny to be courageous enough, vicious enough, to become listed on; mystical Melanie, who takes his heart; and Deeps, the shark hunter.But the absolute most unique character may be the ocean itself: welcoming, unknown, life-threatening. Mendoza men are courageous men, but Sonnyis bravery is of another type.
