I bought this book from Scorpio and since I was from a school library they gave me the coolest set of posters to display.

This book is a long time coming, it is an accessible book that highlights those Maori whonhave changed the world.  

KIA KAHA is a collection of true stories about amazing Maori who have achieved incredible things. Each of them blazed a trail in their own way, and this pukapuka was written to show that with your kura huna, with your special gifts, YOU can make a difference too.


The stories are concise, compelling, important and often revelatory, especially to those who grew up outside te ao Maori. Just as great are the brilliant, revealing and often wildly creative illustrations by the 12 Maori illustrators who worked on the book. Give it to people you care about because it's brillant, or because it's beautiful, or because it's important, but do give it.

GREG BRUCE, CANVAS

From the creators of the Maori Made Easy series and beautifully illustrated by 12 Maori artists, this collection of true stories features inspirational Maori from all walks of life. It's a brilliant gift for all ages.

Check out her Facebook page- it is inspirational; https://www.facebook.com/ChloeAdventurer/ The real-life adventures of a young woman pushing the limits, trusting her instincts and living her life off the beaten path Suffering through searing pain and delirious illness in frigid, makeshift conditions, Chloe Phillips-Harris, at the age of 25 years, summoned every ounce of determination to brave the world's most gruelling horse race - the Mongol Derby. This 1000-kilometre endurance race across the wild steppes, desert and mountains of Mongolia - a competition with no marked course, no support team, that requires riders to switch horses every 40 km - saw almost half the competitors drop out along the way, but Chloe persevered. Fearless  recounts Chloe's childhood g...

By: Martin Handford Location: Wherever you might find Wally- there the book is! Genre: Still looking for one. So one of our students who left school last year thought it humerous to circle all the Wally's or Waldo's if you are from Europe- in our books- first one made me smile- but by the time I had seen this in all three books- I was not! Because you all love Wally so much- we bought you some new books! Enjoy and keep Wally's whereabouts a secret!!

 By: Kelsey Rodkey Location: FIC ROD Genre: Young Adult Romance Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes. Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does eve...
