More DescriptionI'm doomed.
I'm Zader, the one who sits at the beach pavilion while my brother Jay surfs. It's not enough that I'm the weird kid allergic to water. I'm the favorite punching bag of the Blalahs, a couple of mouth breathers who terrorize me simply because they can. Being adopted by the Westins made me part of their 'ohana, but it didn't make me normal, no matter how hard Jay fights for me.
When Jay and my friend Char Siu go to prestigious Ridgemont Academy next year, I'll be suffering at Lauele High School. Uncle Kahana is teaching me Lua so I can defend myself, but the Blalahs are determined to catch me when Jay's not around.
Everybody loves Jay. Me, too. Sometimes I wish I could be him.
But that's not the worst of it.
In the middle of the night, I dream. There's a mysterious girl who lives in a magical place and acts like she knows me better than I know myself. We hide from the Man with Too Many Teeth. Some nights I wake up with my heart pounding in my chest and the urge to eat raw meat.
It's just a dream, right?
But then I saw him, the Man with Too Many Teeth, walking along the reef at Piko Point.
Not even Jay can protect me now.
