This was a fun YA read with the vibes of Moana and the Pacific Islander Mythology. There is some magical elements which feel more whimsical while reuniting childhood friends after years apart. 

I loved that animal familiars were a big part of the story and the uniqueness of Hana’s tattoo was a wonderful addition to the story.
