The Moa Cave - By Des Hunt - Book Review


The Moa Cave - By Des Hunt

The Moa Cave is about a boy named Tyler and who has won a trip with two other girls (called Hine and Mandy). 
This is the story of their adventures, a mystery and a truth and dare game. 
Tyler and Hine find themselves trapped in a cave with two little penguins. 
This story has daring, devils, danger and little bit of love. 
It is a great story for kids aged 7 - 20 years. 
We really liked it because it was set in Otago, near where we live. 
It is the kind of story that when your teacher gets to the end of a chapter you just want them to read MORE and MORE!!!

"My favourite part was at the end when two of them were in love." - Charlotte, KC, Ava, Livvy, and Issy.
"My favourite part was at the end when Hine did the dare to Tyler and then Tyler had to do it back." - Grace & Skye

"I liked it when they escaped on the boat." - Angus
"I liked it when they sent out the search party looking for Hine and Tyler, but they didn't even come close to them." - Archie
"It was funny when Mandy fell in the seal pooh when they were playing the dare game." - Olive
"I liked it when they went to the cave museum 1 year later." - Katie
"I liked it when they found the second cave." - Emily, Jess, Chloe & Addyson
"I liked it when Mopsie got Hine's teddy bear for in the nest." - Annabelle

"I love reading this book to my Year 3 & 4 class because they hang on every word. There are parts that they love and parts that scare them just a little...it is such a great book to read aloud - it will always rate as one of my favourites." - Mrs May

  1. I haven't read this book. Auckland Libraries only has one hard copy, which can't be taken out of the library. There is an ebook but other people are waiting for it, so I will have to go to the end of the queue. Do you know why I want to read it? Because Room 4 said such interesting things about it!
