Cargando... Battle of the Birdspor Lee Murray
Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. In Wisconsin, USA, home sick Annie relaxes in the hot sun while she day dreams of sinking into a cool lake in New Zealand, and as she does she drifts off into a dreamy slumber. The slumber takes her on a long journey to the New Zealand of 1000 years ago, a land filled with many birds; the majestic Moa, the fantail and the kiwi. But a battle amongst the flightless and the predator birds is brewing and Annie has been given a special skill that may help change the out come. The question is can she help the flightless birds in time? A gentle, yet dynamic story which brings the birds of New Zealand to life. A strong female protagonist will lend to many readers enjoying the story and leave them wanting more. I did find the story a little slow for reading which I feel makes it is well suited to fill the ‘tween’ gap in the book market. The author has added glossary and an explanation of the Maori words will give wider appeal. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

It's wonderful to read a story set in my hometown, Tauranga, with recognisable landmarks such as Mauao, White Island, Rotorua and the North Island lakes. I appreciate the list of characters in the front of the book, and the glossary of Maori terms in the back. I would recommend this title for 10-12 years olds. (
