NZ Junior Fiction 5-9-year-olds

Opening her throat, Nana gave an almighty karanga, calling to the moana. She told the sea who she was, and where she had come from. The tohunga gestured at Pipi and Pou, and stated that the giant eagle and the taniwha were her mokopuna, and that as a whānau they had come in peace.

'We are kaitiaki!' sang Nana. 'Guardians and protectors of the natural world!'

Join Pipi, Pou and Nana as they fight the strange creature hidden in the surf.
