This is the rollicking tale of two 18th century boys who stumble through a portal in time. Disgruntled 13-year-old Kalani runs away from his foster home and is followed by his young friend John, a New Englander who arrived in Honolulu as a cabin boy on a sailing ship. After a meeting with the fearsome Night Marchers—ghosts of Hawaiian royalty—the boys find themselves in another century, where they experience the delights of an ancient festival, the rigors of manual labor—and the terror of a legendary battle.

10-year-old Ruth, her family and friends, live in Chinatown, Honolulu, in 1896. When her twin brother finds a mistreated cabin boy, a runaway from a sailing ship, the children hide him, prompting a series of misadventures. Readers will learn about Chinese and Japanese culture, the emotional pain of a physical disability, the thrill of riding a horse-drawn trolley, the fun of making a Chinese kite, coping with a demented grandmother, commerce with China, racial prejudice and cultural accommodation. With the aid of her artistic ability and a traveling Chinese opera, Ruth saves the cabin boy and earns the admiration of her taunting classmates--and her brother.
