Logan, a Hawaiian monk seal is looking for lunch while his friend Kolohe lounges on the beach. Strangely, the reef is empty- except for a small whimper. Peering under a rocky alcove along the reef, Logan is horrified to find- a great white shark! Will Logan keep his onolicious blubber safe or offer to help the distressed mano? The Blalas in the Mano's Hale, prequel to Pualani and the 3 Mano, is Devin Oishi's second book. Once again, Devin takes us on a riotous adventure based on an old tale, this time, Androcles and the Lion. The Blalas is written in a combination of standard and pidgin English for the enjoyment of kids and adults alike. Kamaaina, Hawaiian ex-patriots, and Hawaiianophiles can sample da local lifestyle.
