Download or read book Secret Cave of Kamanawa written by Helen Lamar Berkey and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic story, this young adult adventure book takes readers to the Hawaiian Islands. The Secret Cave of Kamanawa is a story about a secret burial cave of an old Hawaiian ali’i or chief. It provides the adventure which both the main characther, "Boy" and the reader experience. The Hawaiian chief is an ancestor of the Cat-Woman, and she is rightfully proud as she tells of how he gained in marriage the hand of a lovely Molokai princess. And when she tells Boy of the ritual of burying chiefs in secluded caves, she is not aware that anyone would attempt to find them, much less the youngster who is eagerly clinging to her every word. The search for the cave takes you over the mountainous terrain of Hawaii, much as you would find it if you were to go there now. This is a story which might take place even today in Hawaii; who knows, perhaps you can do exactly what Boy did in searching for The Secret Cave of Kamanawa.

This unique little book, incredible in its own way, brings together the talents, knowledge and experience of two well-known Hawaiian residents, artist-illustrator Ray Lanterman and author-anthropologist Terence Barrow. Whatever their subject, the authors sail along with justifiable confidence, opening to the reader, page after page, vistas of a little-known Hawaii. At times light-hearted, at other times serious, it is always a readable and lookable book.

Mauna Kea, the highest point in the Pacific area, reaching 13,796 feet above sea level-and this is the essence of their book. Tourists and residents alike will find Incredible Hawaii a source of much pleasure which will lead them to a greater awareness of these utterly Fascinating islands.
