The Islands at the End of the World by Austin Aslan

This novel is about a 16 year old epileptic girl named Leilani who lives in Hawaii.  During a visit to O'ahu, a global disaster strikes and Lei and her dad are cut off from the world.  Food is scare and Lei's medicine is running out.  This is an exiting adventure story about their nightmarish journey across islands to reach home.  The mythology and culture of the islands is a major thread that is entwined throughout the story.  If you like to surf and would like to visit Hawaii someday, you will love this book!
