Richard Moriarty
In this breathtaking continuation of the Be Manaful Series, Malie, Pierre and Nicole barge back into the Manaful World only to get their minds whupped attacked by the resident “awakened” spirit, Lapu, who whoops their brains and makes them cry like babies.
Saved by their faithful friends the Manafuls, The Secret Club trio takes precautionary measures: they get quality magical protection from Elder Puna himself and start a quest to find clues—plus some living relics— to “power up” and become magical themselves. Meanwhile, Hopohopo dwarves rebel against their counterparts, causing tremendous societal and environmental destruction in the process.
Back on good ol’ Earth, Pierre is blessed with a baby sister. Nicole studies law with Uncle Nick and becomes an athlete. Malie opens new cultural doors to let more light into her isolated sphere of existence. Unknown to them, a certain Kona is stalking them, and another boy, called Honi, turns up in a burst of music and hula to become a common occurrence in their live
.That all keeps The Secret Club distracted as the situation beyond the Shimmery Wall steadily goes from bad to worse beyond the Shimmery Wall. Lapu’s sticky meddling tendrils of meddling are growing larger and stronger as he uses Ejad the Inventor mercilessly to achieve their nefarious goal to kill Manafuls and consume their Mana. Oh yes: —and to really, truly, Manifest manifest, so that Lapu can plan to literally eat the dwarves (and maybe the humans) as well, right down to their bone marrow.
