Da Max

We've got a series of popular and humorous books about "local style". The books are the most widely shared books ever written about da life. Many island people and visitors alike enjoy reading "da max" series. We can't think of a more fun way to get an inside view of island life than by reading these books.

The softcover books are illustrated in a lighthearted cartoon style. The print is large and makes for easy reading in spite of the enormous amount of valuable information presented. You will read these books more than once and be glad to show your friends how akamai you really are.

Standard english version: "We took a lot of pidgin words and put them down the way we use them, the way we hear them and had fun with it. We also want you to know that we have a great reverence for pidgin, because in some way it's like the heartbeat of Hawai'i.

Pidgin version: " 'ey! Dis book 'Good Fun', brah! 'ass why we wen put 'um togeddah you know: so you guys could have fun too! But one noddah ting: we get a special feeling about pidgin. Local people, dey get togeddah fo' party, wedding, baby luau, whatevahs, dey gotta talk story, yeah? Pidgin someting from da heart".

Both books will help you understand how many of us really talk at home and with friends. Who knows, maybe you will someday make new friends with your acquired kama'aina ways?

This really is everything you always wanted to know about Hawai'i but didn't have a local friend to tell you.

This is a very descriptive account of the "onolicious" food of Hawai'i.
