On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Malia Maunakea about her newest middle grade novel Lei and the Invisible Island. 

It’s the second book in the Lai and the Legends series and will both transport your mind with the immersive and suspenseful plot and connect to your heart with important themes around friendship, family and forgiveness.
