Description
A dazzling, romantic fantasy inspired by Pacific Island mythology, Dragonfruit is an Asian/Pacific American Award Honor Book. In this captivating tale, Hanalei's life is turned upside down when her father steals a seadragon egg meant for an ailing princess, forcing her into exile. Hanalei finds solace in studying the majestic seadragons that roam the Nominomi Sea, but an encounter with a female dragon offers her what she desires most: a chance to return home and right a terrible wrong. Meanwhile, Sam, the last remaining prince of Tamarind, is searching for a cure for his mother's illness and must navigate the dangers of his matriarchal society. As Hanalei and Sam battle enemies both near and far, they are not alone in their quest - another danger lurks: the dragonfruit itself. With its power to undo sorrow comes a warning: every wish demands a price.
