What do you do when you meet a tohunga makutu? You run. When reality dissolves and myths and legends come alive? You run faster. And when the dead come to life and blood debts have to be paid, will you have the courage to do what must be done? Matiu Douglas has a bone tiki he stole from a tangi. His father's important new client wants it. Badly. And he has some very nasty friends. When Mat is forced to flee for his life, an unexpected meeting with a girl called Pania sets his world spinning. Suddenly he's running through the bush with a girl-clown, a dog who is way too human, and a long-dead warrior. Fearful creatures from legend are rising up around him, and Mat faces a terrifying ordeal. And there is nowhere left to hide . . . not even in another world. A breathtaking adventure set in two parallel New Zealands, from exciting new author David Hair.

I wanted to learn more about the mythical world of New Zealand and this was an effortless and enjoyable way to do so. It introduces different historical events and insights into how life was here before and mixes it with modern day life and Kiwi speak. The perspective is sometimes a bit naive but given it is seen through the eyes of a 15 yr old it becomes part of the journey. It is a fast moving, action packed story line that keeps one glued to the reader, wanting more. I'm eager to read the next David Hair book on Aotearoa.Product details

The Bone Tiki David Hair 9781459623477 Books Reviews
I loved this book. It was refreshing to finally read a book with real Maori mythology interwoven into a seamless narrative. The characters were cleverly done. I really admired the character Wiri, he reminded me of an old soul and I thought that David did a great job in portraying his traditional Maori self and how tradition at times can conflict with the modern world. There were a few parts within the book which made me very proud to be a New Zealander and a Maori person as well. I would recommend this book and I can't wait to read more of David's work.
This book is almost everything I could ask for in a contemporary New Zealand novel - seemless integration of Mäori mythology into a ripping adventure story, genuine kiwi dialogue (it's actually quite strange reading, like hearing the NZ accent on television) and original plotting. You must read this book
TBT follows Mat, a young Mäori teenager who lives with his mildly corrupt lawyer dad, Tama. Normally Tama represents gang-leaders and drug dealers, however the latest client Mat meets is something else, a Mäori mystic shunned by his peers. Tama's client wants a bone tiki that Mat's aunty gave to him, and in order to thwart the creep Mat takes the thing and goes cross country.
Weirdness ensues
TBT probably is best classified as young adult (it does follow a teenager) and the relationships are a bit cheesy and superficial, although in saying that some of the philosophical points are quite deep, and the mythological is simply awesome. As an adventure story Bone Tiki is unparalleled, even if some of the characters kinda drop out of the story...
The rest of the world must read this book lest they all get their knowledge of NZ from here [...]
Great to find this book in eBook preference.
