"Island Boyz" by Graham Salisbury follows the summer adventures of two brothers, 12-year-old Kimo and his younger brother, Kai, living on the Hawaiian island of Oahu in the 1970s. As they explore their idyllic surroundings, they encounter challenges and fun typical of island life, including surfing, fishing, and navigating family dynamics. Their carefree days are filled with excitement, but they also learn valuable lessons about friendship, responsibility, and the complexities of growing up. Through vibrant storytelling, Salisbury offers a glimpse into the beauty of Hawaiian culture and the bonds of brotherhood that endure through life's trials.
