Fierce September (Juno - Volume 2) order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Fleur Beale
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
Juno and the Taris inhabitants must leave their dying island. The young people look forward to a wider life Outside, but Outside too has its problems. It is two-year-old Hera, with her uncanny ability to foresee events, who saves the Taris people from the injury and death prepared for them by an underground group of protestors.
The people of Taris, though, have no choice but to try to live in this seemingly hostile place. The young people are entranced despite the hate campaign against them: there are the fashions, the technologies and best of all for Juno, the freedom from extreme control. Only days after the group arrives, a pandemic hits the country - this has drastic consequences for Juno and her people.
Once the pandemic is over, life settles down and the question now for Juno is to find her way amongst the choices open to her, some of which cause her parents to fear she is abandoning the values they hold so dear.

Juno of Taris (Juno #1) order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 19.00 each
Paperback
Author: Fleur Beale
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
Juno, a young teen on the verge of adulthood, struggles with her need to fit in and belong and her growing discomfort and questioning of her society's rules. Juno lives in the not-too-distant future on Taris, a bubble-covered island in the Pacific, to which a few hundred people fled when Earth's inhabitants began to self-destruct.
On Taris rules govern everything from appearance, behaviour and even procreation to ensure the survival of humankind.
Juno of Taris examines many themes, peer pressure, environmental breakdown, the fictionalization of history, societal control and challenging authority. It is a thoroughly good read from one of our very best writers for young adults.

Katarina order quantity

Paperback
Author: Gavin Bishop
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
Based on the true story of Gavin Bishop's great aunt, Katarina is the fascinating story in Maori of a young Maori woman's life in the early 1860s. It tells of her long and treacherous journey from the Waikato to Otago to join her Scottish husband. This poignant story gives us a very clear insight into Katarina's conflicts between the old Maori ways and the 'new' Pakeha pioneer ways. It is also an amazing snapshot of the times - the land wars between the English and Tainui counter-pointed with the gold rush in Gabriel's Gully, Otago. Gavin Bishop's beautiful and authentic illustrations are even more stunning in this re-issue, having been rescanned and reproduced by the latest technology.

Maori Tales of Long Ago order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Hardback
Author: A.W. Reed
Published by: New Holland Publishers (New Zealand) Ltd
Maori Tales of Long Ago is a newly published facsimile edition of a classic collection of 16 stories adapted from Maori mythology for a young readership. The tales were originally published by A.W. & A.H. Reed during the late 1940s in two hardback volumes, Maori Tales of Long Ago and Wonder Tales of Maoriland. Best-sellers of their time, they gave a generation of New Zealand children a lyrical introduction to the world of Maori mythology. In each story, a myth is narrated and brought to life by genial old Popo, the village storyteller and friend of the chief's son and daughter, Rata and Hine. This edition faithfully keeps the charming original drawings by A.S. Paterson, including eight colour plates. It contains a new foreword from David Simmons, a distinguished ethnologist, former assistant director of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, and author of several books on Maoritanga.
