Wonderful tale of a young girl and her Maori heritage. Entwinded with ancients Maori tales of gods and men. Quick read. Endearing, and good read for all girls.

Oh wow! This was such a short book, but I loved it. I read it in one sitting. It's about a girl who adores her great-grandfather who shuns her because being the first born great-grandchild she should have been a boy. It has lots of folklore, hope, destiny, love, and comedy. Definitely one of my new all time favorites!! I have never seen the movie based on this book, but now I want to. It won awards, so if it's as good as the book, I can see why!
