In this third installment of the Hilo series, D.J. and Hilo must travel through a portal to rescue their friend Gina. Along the way, they encounter bizarre aliens, magical threats, and the complexities of being a 'hero' when you feel ordinary. It is a fast-paced, visually engaging experience that balances zany comedy with genuine heart. Parents will appreciate how the story validates different kinds of intelligence and the importance of showing up for your friends during scary times.
