Ariā and the Kūmara God

The exciting sequel to The Astromancer. The future is looking bleak: not only is the Astromancer held captive by the wicked Ruatapu, but also the kumara crops are dying. Aria and her fellow apprentices - and Kuri - must repeat Tawhaki’s great feat and climb up into the heavens to ask the star Whānui for help. They have to act quickly because Matariki is drawing close, but the journey seems impossible . . .

Hardcover and lots of words. Probably more suitable for school age tamariki or read over a period of time! 64 pages.
