Huge tides are swamping the coast and overrunning the homes of a coastal Marae. Nan believes it isn’t what it seems, and the trio of heroes set off in Betsy to find out more. It takes all three to reach the source of the problem and some strong negotiation skills to resolve the situation. A glossary of the te reo Māori phrases is included in each title.
