    About this series

    Magic abounds within the hearts and minds of three preteens in modern-day Hawaii as they travel through a time portal into another dimension, meeting Hawaiian dwarves with mana or power that takes their breaths away.

    Pierre, a star athlete; Malie, a shy bookworm; and Nicole, a strong-hearted, misunderstood gal, become like siblings as they form The Secret Club within the surreal, powerfully magnetic other-world that is Manaful. They befriend Manaful leaders and preteens and come into themselves through healing from their Post-Covid experiences.

    Growing as individuals through their mutual bond, the preteens explore the world of Manaful in this delightful, musical, and emotional novel about finding oneself with the love and help of others. The key moments of their journey show how self-love and trust in others can go a long way.

    The Manaful World thrives behind shimmery walls. A song takes you there and a song brings you back. There you will find the Manaful, their Elders and their Hopohopop, inviting you to partake in adventures full of the magic that permeates the air. But beware; spirits lurk in this world, seeking to hijack the insecurities of humans and Manafuls alike There are those who would use these spirits for nefarious ends… and when they do, it's not only the Manaful World that is affected. Can the Secret Club and their Manaful friends find the best solution to problems faced by both their worlds?

    Author

    Dorimalia Waiau

    Creator and Co-Author of the Be Manaful Series. Native Hawaiian author Dorimalia Waiau found inspiration for the Be Manaful series in the most unexpected of places: the upheaval of the global Covid pandemic. A high school Language and Arts teacher, she saw first-hand how the after effects of coronavirus on her community badly impacted the wellbeing of her pupils. Recognising that these feelings of sadness, fear, and isolation must be shared by young people around the world, Dorimalia was stirred into action, determining to write a novel that would encourage readers not to feel like victims of circumstance but ‘brave souls’ ready to face the challenges that life presents. The result was The Secret Club and the Manafuls, a young adult novel that not only entertains but kindles hope and joy, sharing timeless and inspirational truths. Having worked with children for more than two decades, Dorimalia knows well the many problems that they must contend with — issues such as abuse, neglect, bullying, social anxiety, depression, and fear of rejection. Countering this, the Be Manaful series — so-named because, in the Hawaiian language, ‘mana’ means ‘power’ — promotes positive themes of self-healing, forgiveness, self-acceptance, and self-love, as well as fostering a respect for nature and concern for protecting the environment. Through the adventures of the Secret Club, Dorimalia imparts the important lesson that we all have untapped potential and that it is OK to take time to unlock this and discover who we truly are. With courage and determination, we can all find our inner strength and become manaful.  Having penned and published her first novel, The Secret Club and the Manafuls entirely by herself, Dorimalia will be co-authoring the remaining books in the Be Manaful series with her “brother by heart”, Easa Mohamed. And with eight books planned in total, with one released on September 4th each year, there will be many opportunities to become an honorary member of the Secret Club, join their incredible adventures, and be manaful.
