Publisher's summary

"Maui Misadventures: Chickens, a Cat, and Homeschooling Around the Island" is a delightful and heartwarming true story about a courageous mother's adventurous journey of homeschooling her two daughters on the breathtaking island of Maui. The narrative is brimming with unforgettable characters and humorous situations, offering an authentic glimpse into island life and the trials and triumphs of homeschooling—well, unschooling.

One day, a mysterious cat appears and takes command of their home with a regal air, bringing endless amusement and a fair share of confusion. When the husband introduces chickens into the household, the chaos reaches new heights as these feathered friends become part of the family, adding a unique twist to their daily escapades.

The most remarkable aspect of the story is the unexpected friendship between the cat and the chickens. Their quirky and charming interactions create some of the most comedic and memorable moments, adding a layer of enchantment to the tale.

We also witness the mom's valiant efforts at homeschooling as she embarks on daily field trips around the island with the intention of teaching multiplication tables later. More often than not, however, exhaustion prevails, and they all nap instead.

"Maui Misadventures" is a rollercoaster of laughter, learning, and love. It beautifully captures the delights and challenges of family life, the splendor of Maui, and the lessons gleaned from unexpected friendships. This hilarious and heartwarming adventure reminds us of life's wonderful madness and the unexpected joy it offers when we embrace the journey.

Entertaining and Super Fun!

Holy cow, this was such a fun listen! The adventures and misadventures of this group were fantastic. Rumba was most certainly my favorite. The perspective of stories through child eyes is so delightful and takes to a place I haven't been is long time! The homeschooling perspective was interesting, nuanced and fun. I've never been to Maui but if its anything like the picture painted in this book it must be fabulous! I wonder if the chickens are truly running around everywhere. Nevertheless, I loved it!

Sweet, Funny and Heartwarming

The author's honesty about the challenges of homeschooling while living on a tropical island was refreshing. I couldn't stop laughing at the chaos of trying to balance education with island life. And then there's the cat and the chickens – the most unlikely and hilarious additions to their family.
It's a beautiful reminder that life doesn't always go according to plan, but it's the unexpected moments that make it truly magical. I found myself smiling throughout the whole book, and I even caught myself out loud laughing at some of the antics. If you need a good laugh and a heartwarming story, this book is perfect.
