Tim Tipenes latest foray into junior fiction introduces us to the delightful world of cousins Pipi and Pou and their kuia Nana, and the adventures this trio of kaitiaki get up to. Nana is a tohunga in touch with the natural world; on command, Pipi has the ability to turn into a Poukai Haasts eagle, and Pou can turn into a taniwha. These books are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike Im looking forward to seeing what more adventures this trio of kaitiaki get up to. Hannah Marshall The Sapling
