Big Adventure on Moa Nui

Unlike science fiction books that focus on the fight against evil forces, LLyn De Danaan's "Big Adventure on Moa Nui: The Very Mysterious Events on a South Pacific Island and Their Resolution" (ISBN 1466267054) follows quirky characters on a rather lighthearted escapade that makes for an unforgettable experience. Anthropologist Fiona Elizabeth Kelly is called to assist residents of a South Pacific Island who witness inexplicable events. As she investigates, she finds mysteries that involve, in the main, the female population of the island. Not only are older women waking up with tattoos they didn't have the night before, but also all of the women are menstruating at the same time every month. As out of the ordinary incidents spread to island missionaries and household appliances, Kelly knows her work is critical. At first, her only companion is a dog, but eventually her allies and helpers expand to include other colorful islanders. With the help of a musket-toting cosmetic saleswoman, a reclusive poet, and a Newfoundlander cello player, Kelly stumbles upon a scary discovery.
