The Red-Headed Hawaiian: The Inspiring Story About a Local Boy

The Red-Headed Hawaiian: The Inspiring Story About a Local Boy from Rural Hawaii Who Makes Good

In a departure from his typical fictional portrayal of a Hawaii in turmoil, Chris McKinney has collaborated with his childhood friend, Dr. Rudy Puana, to write a local-boy-does-good story for younger readers. It's a move that may have die-hard McKinney fans a little perplexed, as he turns away from the grittiness of the Islands to adopt a more inspirational tone.

Still, The Red-headed Hawaiian, released last month by Mutual Publishing, seeks to challenge a few ingrained local attitudes, including notions of what it means to be tough, and give permission to Hawaii's youth to dream for better lives than their parents had.--Honolulu Magazine
