In "The Navel of the World," Victor Lorca had to battle terrorists for control of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). But now things get really serious: Victor has to battle Los Angeles traffic, jet lag, frozen clothes – and a couple of pesky kidnappers!
He may be an awkward hero, but Victor and his new bride, Javiera, our husband and wife heroes, always get the job done. In this second story in the Polynesian Advanture Series, they travel to Los Angeles to celebrate Professor Helliwell’s recent deciphering of rongorongo, an ancient Rapa Nui written language that has been unreadable for more than a century. On the night of a ceremony to honor the Professor, his wife and two young girls are kidnapped. Victor and Javiera chase after the kidnappers on scooters, by plane, and on foot, following them from Los Angeles to Hawaii and then even further out into the vast Pacific Ocean. Along the way, they work with a Honolulu cop nicknamed “Hawaii Five-0,” explore most of Oahu and might just have figured out what happened to Amelia Earhart. The story has three narrators: Javiera, one of the kidnappers, and the hilarious six-year's-old child Harriet.
