About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is looking for a fast-paced mystery that balances high-stakes peril with the warmth of a supportive friend group. It is an ideal choice for readers who are transitioning into longer chapter books but still appreciate visual support through expressive typography and vibrant illustrations. While the story centers on a race against time to save a community from a volcanic eruption, the core of the narrative is about the Thea Sisters using their unique individual strengths to work as a unified team. The setting of a Hawaiian hula festival introduces young readers to themes of cultural appreciation and environmental awareness. It is a gentle yet exciting adventure for ages 7 to 10 that reinforces the idea that kids can be proactive problem-solvers when they notice something others have missed.
