From the bestselling author ofThe Bone Treecomes a lively and playful bilingual collection of stories about growing up in Ptea.

Interlinked and full of recurring characters, these stories are about growing up in small-town Aotearoa – sneaking away during cross country, doing bombs while the lifeguard isn’t looking, peeling spuds on the marae, crashing a car at age four, and learning to live by the tikanga ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Exuberant, exciting, poignant and heartfelt, each story is featured in English and te reo Mori. The perfect resource for those on their reo learning journeys as well as for readers who enjoyedThe Bone Tree.
