See all formats and editions
Twelve-year-old Niko lives in Pohe Bay, a small, rural town with a sacred hot spring – and a taniwha named Taukere. The government wants to build a prison over the home of the taniwha, and Niko's grandfather is busy protesting. People call him porangi, crazy, but when he dies, it's up to Niko to convince his community that the taniwha is real and stop the prison from being built. With help from his friend Wai, Niko must unite his whanau, honour his grandfather and stand up to his childhood bully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I’ve read in a long time.

I really love the characters in this book. It has a great message and very relatable to Maori youth. It made me think of my Koro and the importance of respecting our tupuna.

4.0 out of 5 stars A story of respect, honor and doing what’s right
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021

A story that is relevant no matter your age. Standing rock, Mauna Kea, it’s a story that has been told hundreds of times. Of places and people where the land has more value than a simple building ever will. A story of doing what is right. Perhaps the porangi boy is not the one that respects the land, but the one that destroys it. Regardless of age, it’s an excellent quick read.
