Author: HUNT DES

Socially challenged eleven-year-old Peter MacNeill has real difficulties
when his family is forced to move to a broken-down house in Birkenhead.
Then he discovers pekapeka bats living in his backyard trees. With the
help of Agnes and her mokopuna Tui, Peter vows to protect the bats from
predators, both animal and human. The worst of these is a property developer who plans to build apartments on the site. He’ll do
anything to destroy the trees, including introducing dieback disease,
poisoning, and even arson. When a puriri is set on fire Peter finds a
new inner strength which surmounts his difficulties and saves the day.
