Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kuwai Strong Washburn

Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am torn between 4 and 5 stars, but would definitely recommend the magical Sharks in the Time of Saviors. Imbued with Hawaiian culture and mythology, this family saga is told through the viewpoints of three siblings, Dean, Kaui, and Noa, who are each fighting against their past and each other to figure out their place in the world. It was very sad at times, but the characters were great, and its theme of being inextricably tied to your family, your home, and all the things that make you was ultimately hopeful and beautiful.

Read-alike recommendation: Lights All Night Long by Lydia Fitzpatrick
