Little did he conceive that the Haven was a den of horrors where all of the disappointments and problems of his past years would pale by comparison with life at this bleak institution. And he would not only face his own unwelcome burdens but would be besieged by the problems of other residents who pleaded with him for help. Fortunately, placing his faith in the hands of his ancient heritage, he discovered an unexpected source of mysterious perception, energy, and insight that revealed to him the secret of success at the end of this tunnel of darkness.

Book excerpt: It's just a game, right? Wrong! The Menehune Hunt turns into eerie intrigue filled with danger as The Hawaiian Island Detective Club tackles their second genuine mystery. The crazy clues make no sense at all, but Leilani is determined to figure out why the statues of Hawaii's treasured, Leprechaun-like little people are disappearing during the school fundraiser event, even if it means asking her pain-in-the-pants, ten-year-old brother, Kimo, for help. A fire, a visit from police, a creepy stakeout, too many suspects and an intense diversion involving Kimo and an irate storeowner hinders their investigation. Leilani worries that they'll never figure out who's stealing the odd, yet unremarkable little statues, and why. Are she and her friends in danger... possibly from someone they know?
