Whetū Toa and the hunt for Ramses

Book Author  Steph Matuku
Rights Available World excl. NZ

Whetū is about to start school, and no one is happy. Not the chicken. Not the bull. Especially not Ramses the golden ram, who goes missing. Tori the cat and Whetū go on a rescue mission. They catch starbeams to zany worlds and end up on a planet run by an evil magician who gets his power by draining the magic from animals. However, Whetū’s tāniko woven friendship bracelet and a clever Ramses are more than a match for the evil sorcerer.
