Summary

Exotic, dangerous, exhilarating and extreme--the contradictions that are Hawaii are the challenges adventurer twins, Gannon and Wyatt, must face as they seek to unravel a centuries-old mystery in Travels with Gannon and Wyatt: Hawaii (Greenleaf Book Group) by Patti Wheeler and Keith Hemstreet. Fast-paced and jam packed with drama and a ruffian-to-royal cast of characters, this continues in the tradition of the Travels with Gannon and Wyatt series, which includes books set in Botswana, the Great Bear Rainforest, Egypt, Greenland and Ireland. Each takes readers a captivating location, where they learn about the country's culture and history, and about potential threats posed by increased globalization and environmental change. Keith Hemstreet joins us for a feature interview.
