ABOUT THE BOOK
Like every year, the summer brings new people to Tolaga Bay. It’s been a full year since Charlie saved his hometown from destruction at the hands of gods, warring sea creatures and natural disasters. Charlie and his younger brother, Robbie, are enjoying their normal lives – fishing off the wharf and helping out at their mum’s store – that is, until a visiting scientist is stabbed at the local campground, days before a meeting between local iwi and the government. So begins Charlie’s quest to uncover a mystery taking place in the hills above the town
