The book says it's for ages 10-14 ( in fact the copy I have used to belong to a high school library) and the story is told from the point of view of a 12 year old girl, it's also a fairly short read (easily read in a day or two). But I should point out that it does have a few swear words and a lot of Hawaiian words that some younger reader's could possible struggle with.

 The book is about hula but if you love any sort of dance then I think you would enjoy it. The other main plot line of the book is about racism.

Even though this book is a bit 'young' for me I still really enjoyed it, I haven't found that many fiction books about Hawai'i. It might not be the best or your most favourite book but I do recommend it. I think it's a worthwhile read.
