Got this for myself ended up buying it for my grandchildren…it is so much fun …my eldest granddaughter matches Para and her older brother the tuatara…laughed at the portraits of the various reasons for the demise of some of the birds…its a wonderful way to look at history and the Maori language through it brilliant
I wish I had this book when I was a kid! It's a great introduction to some of NZ's history, cant wait to get the next two books!
Very inspiring, captures NZ history in comic form. The artwork is super professional and is a credit to this young artist. Can't wait for No 2 in this trilogy. Who would have thought a trip to the town dump could lead to a lesson in N Z history. It is definitely a yes.
Just how much trouble can come about when a time machine falls into the claws of a scavenging swamp hen? Find out in the first book of this brilliant comic series rampaging all over New Zealand's timeline…
A pūkeko and a tuatara cause time-travelling chaos in this hilarious graphic novel for readers six years and older, by comic artist Book Ruffell.
A dump-diving swamp hen.
A wisecracking tuatara.
A big red button.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Para is a pūkeko with an insatiable appetite for junk food and poor impulse control. One day, while scavenging for treats in a new pile of rubbish at the dump, she discovers* a mysterious machine with a big red button just begging to be pressed. In a flash of blue light, Para is sent back 200 million years, and rescues** Heahea, a trashbag tuatara, moments before an asteroid hits.
All Para wants is to get back to the present and her dirty old dump, but it's not so easy with Heahea along for the ride. The hapless duo keep crash-landing into different time periods and causing chaos and carnage wherever they go.
Full of hilarity, with a dash of danger and a fun historical angle, this is the perfect book for young readers who like their comics irreverent and served up with lots of laughs.
