The Haole Substitute Walt Novak The Haole Substitute takes you on a raucous ride with a 23-year-old surfer who shoots through the squalor of Hawaii's roughest high schools to tackle social and personal problems. Marriage and fatherhood have turned a champion surfer into a sorry excuse for a substitute teacher. Hungry sharks and heavy surf pose no problem, but Paul Kodak is out of his element when it comes to cat fights, school politics, and knife-wielding, jive-talking hoodlums-in-training. Walt Novak is himself an English teacher, a world-class surfer, and an award-winning surfing journalist. By turns tragic, comic and revealing, The Haole Substitute is based on the author's personal experiences in Hawaii's classrooms, and they're experiences you won't soon forget. “Walt Novak is a natural storyteller. The Haole Substitute takes you far beyond the waves and into a sometimes dark — but always human — side of paradise. It's an exceptionally intriguing look into a very intriguing world.” — The Santa Cruz Sentinel Available from Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Partners/West Published by Cypress House ISBN 1-879384-19-1 · Paperback · 160 Pages · 5.5 X 8.5
