The inspiring true story of one writerâs wild adventure into the gems and perils of the Big Island of Hawaii, a blue feather as his only talisman.
Wild sea turtles, black sand beaches, UFOs, and a volcano goddess living in a lake of lava? Thatâs only the beginning.
Upon landing, Andrew feels instantly welcome. On his first night, a new friend asks him if heâd like to go on a volcano adventure with her. âAre you serious?â he says. âYes, of course!â
After picking up some gas masks the following day, they head to Hawaiâi Volcanoes National Park, hiking down a secret road toward a massive red glow in the distance. By nightfall, Andrew and his new friends are standing on the edge of a huge lake of bubbling lava, radiating a warmth that feels like the sun on a cloudless day. Its beauty leaves him speechless, and they've brought food. His friends call it âextreme picnicking,â but his adventure has only just begun.
