  <description><![CDATA[An island boy himself, Graham Salisbury has written many books for teens  that draw on his understanding and appreciation of the rich culture of Hawaii.  His finest novel to date, <em>Lord of  the Deep</em>, shows his growing ability to portray the subtleties of  relationships as well as the colorful flavor of Hawaiian life. In <em>Island  Boyz</em> he makes good use of that skill in 10 stories and a poem set in this  Pacific society. Some are poignant and tender, some are comical, others dark and  suspenseful, and all are enriched with the delightful pidgin patois of Hawaiian  common folk. The book opens with a richly evocative poem drawn from the author's  own teen days of surfing, stolen papayas, and warm nights on the beach. The last  piece is a strongly constructed story of a boy whose older brother regains his  dream of owning a deep sea fishing charter boat after he returns from Vietnam  missing a leg. Although five of these stories have been published elsewhere,  they make a fine coherent collection with broad appeal for teens. (Ages 10 to  14) <em>--Patty Campbell</em>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[An island boy himself, Graham Salisbury has written many books for teens  that draw on his understanding and appreciation of the rich culture of Hawaii.  His finest novel to date, <em>Lord of  the Deep</em>, shows his growing ability to portray the subtleties of  relationships as well as the colorful flavor of Hawaiian life. In <em>Island  Boyz</em> he makes good use of that skill in 10 stories and a poem set in this  Pacific society. Some are poignant and tender, some are comical, others dark and  suspenseful, and all are enriched with the delightful pidgin patois of Hawaiian  common folk. The book opens with a richly evocative poem drawn from the author's  own teen days of surfing, stolen papayas, and warm nights on the beach. The last  piece is a strongly constructed story of a boy whose older brother regains his  dream of owning a deep sea fishing charter boat after he returns from Vietnam  missing a leg. Although five of these stories have been published elsewhere,  they make a fine coherent collection with broad appeal for teens. (Ages 10 to  14) <em>--Patty Campbell</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[An island boy himself, Graham Salisbury has written many books for teens  that draw on his understanding and appreciation of the rich culture of Hawaii.  His finest novel to date, <em>Lord of  the Deep</em>, shows his growing ability to portray the subtleties of  relationships as well as the colorful flavor of Hawaiian life. In <em>Island  Boyz</em> he makes good use of that skill in 10 stories and a poem set in this  Pacific society. Some are poignant and tender, some are comical, others dark and  suspenseful, and all are enriched with the delightful pidgin patois of Hawaiian  common folk. The book opens with a richly evocative poem drawn from the author's  own teen days of surfing, stolen papayas, and warm nights on the beach. The last  piece is a strongly constructed story of a boy whose older brother regains his  dream of owning a deep sea fishing charter boat after he returns from Vietnam  missing a leg. Although five of these stories have been published elsewhere,  they make a fine coherent collection with broad appeal for teens. (Ages 10 to  14) <em>--Patty Campbell</em>]]>
