Tui, his cousin Jennifer and their whānau go to the south Kaipara to visit their Uncle Rua and Auntie Mina (who grew up in Malaysia). Exploring the area they learn about ancient taniwha (guardians/monsters), extinct and endangered animals and trees, kaitiakitanga (stewardship) and tūpuna (ancestors), and discover how the area has a Second World War connection. In the creation of their own stories previously unknown taniwha take centre stage!
In English, with Maori phrases.
