Finding Moana by James Harris

A boy. A Haunted Island. A Time Bending Quest.

13-year-old Moana fights the cannibals who hunt him and the sinister power growing within him.

The Island. When cannibals invade his island and destroy his village, Moana is saved by the anukus, a mysterious race of mountain dwellers. What ensues is a thrilling journey through the wondrous anuku world of subterranean caves and tunnels. What powerful force beneath the island is threatening the laws of time?

The Boy. Orphaned at birth, Moana doesn't know anything about his parents. With the guidance of the anukus, he learns to use his powers and discovers the secrets about his parents - yet under each layer uncovered are more secrets.

The Quest. There are so many questions which must be answered before they can defeat the creatures. Why are the cannibals in Kaua’i; and why are they hunting Moana so relentlessly? What happened to Moana's parents - and how are they tied to the cannibals - and the anukus?
