Boy With Goldfish: a heroic fantasy for young adults based on ancient Hawaiian mythology. Imagine an all-ocean world where there are no continents, only occasional widely-special islands. Imagine demigods creating these places from the murky depths, destined to then aimlessly float in the oceanic void where experimental scenarios unfold for their amusement. And think of a small child, naked and asleep, abandoned in a misty upland tropical forest, dreaming of a hero's quest but caught in the deities' caprice. Such is the fate of our hero, the Boy of the title.
Tanner's love for the Hawaiian Islands, his home for over 50 years, carries well into this literary work.
