A lot of crazy things happen in this book, and there are some cool science-fiction things going on, too, but this novel is really about a strong father/daughter relationship that’s strained to the limits on a dangerous journey to get back home to family. Lei and her dad set off on their own to get home to the Big Island by any means necessary. As days without electricity, without airplane travel, and without food/gas shipments turn to weeks, tensions grow, hunger sets in, and the situation on the islands becomes desperate and violent. The islands are suddenly thrust into darkness and isolation. She lives on the Big Island, but she and her father are on the island of Oahu when the global blackout happens. It’s about a 16 year-old girl named Leilani who is half white, half Hawaiian. The story involves a catastrophic global blackout, but it takes place entirely on the Hawaiian Islands. ISLANDS AT THE END OF THE WORLD is a young adult disaster/survival novel with science-fiction elements. YA Guy: Welcome to the blog, Austin!
