Punahou Blues
It’s so dangerous in private schools…
Punahou Blues
Book Description
Growing up in Honolulu isn’t all it’s cracked up to be for Jeffrey Gill. After he gets into prestigious Punahou School, his rite of passage includes losing the babe of his dreams to a creep, surviving Killahaole Day, and getting pushed around by the school bully. In the world of academics, Jeff knows he’s hardly Stanford material.
Uncle Sharkey teaches Jeff the sweet science and he beefs his arch enemy at Waialae Golf Course. He salvages his senior year by getting into a mainland college and taking a foxy girl to the Senior Prom. But he must wait until graduation night to find out if the feelings he has for her are mutual.

WW,
Why you gotta steal his girl?
Didn’t know they had “kill haole” day at Punahou. I know lots of public schools used to have that.

There’s some rumor that the love interest in this book is based on Michelle Wie.
