Description
Hapa-Haole Kate Kahele feels like an outsider in her new home. Her father and her brother, David, are eager to start their new lives in Hawai‘i. As an attorney, her father hopes to defend the water rights of the Hawaiian people, while David can’t wait to surf the famous waves. If only it were as easy for Kate. Dance for the ‘Āina is Kate’s personal voyage into the realm of her Hawaiian heritage, where she finds her place with the help of her ‘ohana, her new friends – and hula. Kamehameha Schools educator Clemence McLaren is the author of three novels about Greek mythology: Inside the Walls of Troy, Waiting for Odysseus, and Aphrodite’s Blessings, and is working on a fourth, about the warrior Achilles. Dance for the Land (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 1999), the original hardcover edition of Dance for the ‘Āina, was chosen by the International Reading Association as one of its Notable Books for a Global Society-- "outstanding trade books for enhancing student understanding of people and cultures throughout the world."
