Matiu Douglas has a bone tiki he stole from a tangi. His father's important new client wants it. Badly. And he has some very nasty friends. When Mat is forced to flee for his life, an unexpected meeting with a girl called Pania sets his world spinning. Suddenly he's running through the bush with a girl-clown, a dog who is way too human, and a long-dead warrior. Fearful creatures from legend are rising up around him, and Mat faces a terrifying ordeal. And there is nowhere left to hide ...not even in another world. A breathtaking adventure set in two parallel New Zealands, from exciting new author David Hair.
About the Author
David Hair was raised in the Hawkes Bay and after the traditional Kiwi OE, settled in Wellington. He currently lives in India with his wife, who is with the New Zealand High Commission in New Delhi. While he worked for many years in the financial services industry, his focus is now on writing. The Bone Tiki is his first book.
This is a awsome book. It jumps into the mythology of New Zealand, going through the maori ledgends, tikanga and customs and how they will effect a person. About a young boy who takes his nanny's Tiki after she dies in order to protect it from a very evil tohunga who plans on taking it. Because of this he has to run away, hiding from his father and the tohunga in order to save his life. He discovers why the Tiki is so wanted, and also learns about his heritage and the world of Aotearoa.
I really enjoyed this book, it was very hard to put down once I started reading it. I can hardly wait for the next book from this author. I highly recommend this book.
