nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Mark of the Pteranodon begins sixty million years ago when a unique species of ancient beasts ruled the skies. Known in modern day paleontology circles as Pteranodons, they are the world's largest flying machines. And, the myth of their extinction is the world's best kept secret. Ancient Polynesians described pteranodons in perfect detail upon their arrival to Hawaii and carved pterosaur images onto the sides of large volcanic rocks- leaving a stone legacy still present to this day. From their first encounters, pteranodons terrorized humans and only the bravest Hawaiian, a warrior named Kameo, would dare create a truce with the prehistoric man-eaters. Kameo forged a sacred friendship and created the most exclusive and secretive club that has ever existed. The Pteranodon Clan. A 'chosen' leader of the pteranodons has always been marked since birth and shows the same traits as initial founder Kameo. That is until now. Twelve years ago, the birth of Kai Kalua rocked the ancient society to its core and created the largest scandal in over two thousand years. As the new, clueless leader of the clan, Kai is challenged with one mystery after another from the time he is five years old. Why did his parents abandon him What does it mean to be 'the chosen one' Who are his enemies And most importantly- how is he going to survive the scariest place on earth- middle school The answers to these questions will be answered in Kai's dreams and by his pets- a dog genius named Hiwa and Rosie, a red-footed tortoise with GPS capabilities. Also assisting Kai's quest are his eccentric Hawaiian ohana and two mysteriously acquired magical relics in the form of an ancient scroll and electrifying stone. Kai must defeat an odd and formidable set of foes, including his own self-doubt, to attain his birth mission. Can he keep the world's longest running secret from being exposed All depends on his ability to listen to his Pteranodon mentors and follow the founding father's creed. Be Brave. Be Wise. Be humble. Respect Ohana Forever.…

- Book 1 of 1: Mark of the Pteranodon
Marked with the mysterious title of “The Chosen One”- Kai must figure out his connection to an ancient Hawaiian warrior named Kameo. As the first man to make peace with the “Halulu, Kameo united humans and prehistoric killers, thereby building the most exclusive and secretive club on earth- The Pteranodon Clan. Kai soon finds out he shares more than just his middle name with the great Kameo.
Kai's journey begins in early childhood with the terrifying exodus of father, Makani, who goes surfing and never returns. In the years that follow his father’s absence, Kai’s love of nature develops as he travels the world with his mother, Enrika. As mother and son study birds, Enrika prophetically teaches Kai many of the skills needed to navigate and survive predation. And, just as her husband before her, leaves Kai on a remote beach without so much as a good-bye hug.
Orphaned and alone, Kai must rely on innate talents of observation and find the way back to his homeland in Maui. Fortunately, two gifted animal companions, Hiwa and Rosie are along for the ride. With the world’s smartest dog and a red-footed tortoise that is a talisman for magical objects, Kai has plenty of guidance to face all the obstacles headed his way.
Kai’s first obstacle is integrating into “the scariest place on earth”- Lahaina Middle School. Next is fitting into his new, dysfunctional Hawaiian family- the Mahoe’s- who cohabitate in an exclusive north-shore mansion while hiding many dangerous secrets. And finally, Kai is continually trailed by an oddly-paired duo of government agents with an irritating mission set on kidnapping and double-crossing.
Kai’s birth right to become the chosen one kicks into high gear when he receives two ancient relics that are as mysterious as they are they are powerful. The ki’i scroll has the instructions on Kai’s next moves but are spelled out in an ancient language of symbols that require divine direction to decipher. The second object, the Pakua stone, while seemingly plain is anything but mundane. With an unexpected delivery agent, the stone exhibits uncanny protective powers to its chosen master- whether or not they are ready to accept.
Armed with the Ki’i scroll and Pakua stone, Kai begins to unravel what it means to be The Chosen One. Since returning to Maui, Kai is beset by prophetic dreams that reunite him with loved ones and introduce him to four families of pteranodons. Vivid night time memories lay out the rules he needs for leadership of the Pteranodon Clan- Be Brave, Be Wise, Be humble and Above All, Protect Ohana (Family).
Although slow to warm up, Kai eventually makes friends with two teen allies worthy of his trust. Lani- Kai’s first crush and Moku- Kai’s first rival. Their friendship has as many twist and turns as the road leading to their Cultural Club’s first field trip to Hana. Will the trio be able to work together or will they let jealousy rule?
As Kai closes in on the mysteries of the Pteranodon Clan he will be forced to make an impossible choice- following his dream or following his family obligation.
In the final pages, hopping back and forth in a frenetic chase from Maui to Molokai- Molokai to Maui: Teens, Tourists, Terrorists, Tutu’s and Pteranodons will witness the greatest cliff-hanger in five hundred years.
Can a 12 year-old dreamer with impulsive tendencies really save Pteranodons from extinction a second time?
Only the skies over Maui know the answer!
