"the mix of traditional Japanese and Hawaiian folklore with some contemporary sci-fi and fantasy elements makes for a fresh and distinctive read." -Kirkus Reviews

Adaptively Radiant is a fast paced, adventure packed supernatural story of discovery and exploration-with a mix of traditional Japanese and Hawaiian folklore.

While on a summer vacation in Japan, Justin Toshi Blackwood attends a birthday party for his cousin Kaito and begins to bond with estranged relatives. The two young men share a great-grandfather and soon realize they have each inherited a mysterious family heirloom with one receiving a folding knife and the other a pocket watch.

After discovering that the knife opens a secret compartment in the old watch containing a tiny hidden map, they hike out it into the forest along a riverbed to locate a jar containing the Nine Stones. Each grayish-blue river rock has an animal engraved on one side and a location etched in kanji on the other.

So begins an exciting, Pacific-leaping scavenger hunt where the cousins must collaborate their efforts during nine supernatural encounters and recover remarkable objects of grand significance. Along the way, they unite with Justin's loyal sister Melia and new friend Yori as the four companions try to unlock a magical family secret. Will they survive the perilous journey and unravel the mystery?

Adaptively Radiant is the first published fiction novel by Joseph E. Henning

Industry Reviews

"A Pacific-leaping fantasy debut tells the story of two relatives on a journey to discover a magical family secret. The mix of traditional Japanese and Hawaiian folklore with some contemporary sci-fi and fantasy elements makes for a fresh and distinctive read." - Kirkus Reviews

"The atmospheric style of writing is truly enchanting, transporting us first to Japan then into the otherworldly sensations that the boys experience with a real sense of cultural knowledge. Overall, Adaptively Radiant is a modern fairy tale with plenty of heart." - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

"The story takes twists and thought-provoking turns all of which led to an extremely exciting and unpredictable ending. I simply enjoyed reading this book written by a very creative author." - Team Golfwell

"I really enjoyed Adaptively Radiant, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a high paced, action packed novel, with a focus on travel and exploring different lands and culture." - Renee G. for NetGalley

"I found the storyline of Adaptively Radiant a mixture of travel writing, which was very good, and mysterious quest. I was enthralled by the descriptions of Japanese and Hawaiian locations and foggy Morro Bay in California is beautifully brought to life." - Charles Remington for Readers' Favorite 

"Adaptively Radiant chronicles exotic voyage of two young cousins across islands in Japan, Hawaii, and West Coast of America after they stumble upon a mysterious pouch containing nine stones of significant importance. Henning expertly depicts the traditional folklore of Japan and Hawaii against a contemporary backdrop but the best of all is his rich portrayal of the Japanese and Hawaiian settings and exploration of the misty Morro Bay in California." - The Prairies Book Review
