...One Boy, No Water is a colorful island tale and a modern take on various aspects of Hawaiian legend...Lehua Parker has written a lovely book for an age group often ignored. --Hawai'i Reads ...Original, magic, true, funny, and hard to put down. --Sue Cowling, award-winning author of You Will Call Me Drog and My Dog has Flies: Poetry for Hawai'i's Kids What made this story special for me was the window it provided into the society of island children as they struggle for self-identity in the often chop-suey mix of multi-ethnicity and pecking order politics. --Kirby Wright, author of Punahou Blues & Moloka'i Nui Ahina Parker does an amazing job of weaving the mystery of who and what Zader is throughout the story. Even more outstanding is her ability to infuse other mythologies into the action, which only serve to heighten the secrecy surrounding Zader. The truth will boggle the mind. --Ann Marie Meyers, author of Up in the Air Lehua Parker hits one out of the park with One Boy, No Water...She absorbs the reader in the story to the extent they forget it is a children's book. Her debut novel dangles the bait, sets the hook, reels us in. --Penny Freeman, editor-in-chief, Xychler Publishing
