O. Merce Brown
5.0 out of 5 stars Early Hawaiian Life in the Ahupua`a
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2008
*****
Although this is a book for students (young adults), I bought it as a mature adult and found it at an appropriate level for me. There are many Hawaiian words used and explained in the text (and I do not speak or read Hawaiian), thus I found the easier reading level to be perfect for me!

This book won an award from the Hawaii Book Publishers Association---the Ka Palapala Po`okela Award of Excellence. It is well-deserved. This is a fascinating book about early Hawaiian life--life on the ahupua`a. The black and white drawings are also excellent.

I found this to be a wonderful early book for readers with some light familiarity with the Hawaiian language and with a strong interest in Hawaiian history.

Highly recommended.
