One of the local boys has arrived home telling of a frightening woman who attacked him in the local forest, throwing balls of fire.

“As always, the key point of this adventure is that it’s not supernatural powers that save the environment but the right words spoken at the appropriate time which persuade people to try something new... ”

Trevor Agnew, Magpies

“Tim Tipene’s 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 Pouākai (Haast’s eagle), and Pou can turn into a taniwha. These books are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike… I’m looking forward to seeing what more adventures this trio of kaitiaki get up to.”

Hannah Marshall, The Sapling
