Hula by Jasmin ʻIolani Hakes

Set in Hilo, Hawai’i, a sweeping saga of tradition, culture, family, history, and connection that unfolds through the lives of three generations of women—a tale of mothers and daughters, dance and destiny.

Told in part in the collective voice of a community fighting for its survival, Hula is a spellbinding debut that offers a rare glimpse into a forgot-ten kingdom that still exists in the heart of its people.

Additional copies of the novel will be available at Kahuku Public and School Library.

The May 2025 selection is The Murmur of Bees by Sofia Segovia.
