Calvin Coconut: Hero of Hawaii ReviewGraham Salisbury demonstrates his story-telling magic once again with this rocking, irreverent adventure full of island-style aloha for friends, family and community.Hawaii fourth-grader Calvin Coconut lives up to his reputation as a trouble magnet (see Calvin Coconut #1, Calvin Coconut:Trouble Magnet) and skates the thin edge of safety when he goes out with a pal to check the wild storm surf at Kailua Beach. But when real trouble comes along, we are transported into the page-turning action with Calvin, experiencing a wild ride in which the focus is all on the one thing necessary: the rescue of a friend.
The characters in this ongoing family story illustrate one of the series' strengths: the rewards and trials of the relationships in Calvin's world. As wild as Calvin is, he's a thoughtful brother, son and friend. He is helped along by other thoughtful, strong male characters, and by his hard-working mom and sassy teenaged "sister". He in turn holds out a hand to his little sister Darci and his dog, Streak. It is a satisfying hierarchy.
Calvin is a character with a rich inner life, in this episode concerned with not only the cast of the movie of his life but a short meditation on the Golden Buddha at a local temple "That was what I liked about the big golden Buddha," Calvin says, "He always seemed ok with everything. Like, don't worry, be happy, life is good." Calvin also meditates on the best breakfast ever to have in a storm (bacon, eggs and pancakes), why being mean is the worst and what to do about it, and how to drown-proof his friends and family.
These themes run through the book like a stream, while the masterfully written action scenes pull the reader full speed ahead through chapter after chapter. Jacqueline Rogers' fine illustrations add to the fast pace, joy and fun of this exciting addition to the Calvin Coconut series.Calvin Coconut: Hero of Hawaii OverviewHawaii boy Calvin Coconut has come up with the best idea ever for his sister Darci's birthday party.
