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!!!
