Publisher's Synopsis
Pity the poor primitives who get in the way of progress, but don't think for a moment they'll cave in without a fight. When a misguided grad student decides to take the fate of Mato's clan in his own hands, he recruits a trail guide whose goals are anything but noble.
The clan, meanwhile, can't believe Mato's tales of adventure in the land called Hawaii. He's mocked and ridiculed by everyone. The only way to prove he's telling the truth, is to provide evidence-in this case, it's the gigantic dirigible he encountered across the ocean.
Before Mato can enlist the help of his giant friends, one of his own people betrays him and leaves him in the clutches of the despicable trail guide. Mato's only hope is the skill and daring of a young female from the clan, a girl who delights in playing tricks on the giants.
This time, she'll need to rely on more than sly tricks, or both Mato and the clan are doomed.
