Sara Ackerman is the Hawai’i born, bestselling author of historical & contemporary novels set in the islands. Her books have been labeled “unforgettable” by Apple Books, “empowering & deliciously visceral” by Book Riot, and New York Times bestselling authors Kate Quinn and Madeline Martin have praised Sara’s novels as “fresh and delightful” and “brilliantly written.” Amazon chose Radar Girls as a best book of the month, and ALA Booklist gave The Codebreaker’s Secret a starred review.

Sara will talk about her newest novel, The Shark House, share information on her journey as a writer, and answer audience questions. Signed copies of her newest title will be raffled off to the audience!
