Anything a kāhu is supposed to be good at, Poto can do best of all. She can't understand why her sister Whetū gets cross with her - its not her fault she's good at everything! As for her baby brother Ari, he's so weird and annoying. After their mother is killed by a flock of magpies, Poto and Whetū have to get an injured Ari to safety before a deadly foretold earthquake arrives, unleashing a flood and destroying their home. Can they stop Tū the makipai and her flock from ruining the harmony of the Valley? Will they make it to safety in time? And will Poto realise that everyone has something special to offer, even if they can't do everything quite like she does?"--Back cover ER -
