Publisher's Synopsis
Something is troubling Zader Westin, and it goes beyond painting murals for the pavilion with Mr. Halpert, his new obsession with knives, and even the water allergy that means even a single drop burns like hot lava on his skin. Zader can't stop thinking about the incredibly vivid dream he had in which Leia called him brother before jumping into the ocean and turning into a shark. Zader has a lot of questions, not least of which are why he's always hungry, restless at night, and feels a constant itch on the back of his neck. With his brother Jay at surf camp and Uncle Kahana strangely elusive, though, Zader is left alone to divine what's happening, including why someone--or something--is stalking him. This exciting middle-grade novel reveals a little-known side of Hawaii.
