Publisher's Synopsis
The Moa Cave is a haunting and intriguing story for readers aged 8-13. Des Hunt beautifully describes New Zealand's wild southern coastline and takes the reader on a fascinating journey of the present and past. When Tyler Matthews wins a national ecological competition for a place on the NATURE SOUTH Eco Tour, he has no idea of where it will lead him. After he travels to the bottom of the South Island to join the tour, he meets the other two winners, Hine and the maddening Mandy - and soon finds himself caught in a maze of mystery and adventure. Someone is rustling cattle, and when Tyler finds the mummified remains of a moa hunter in a secret cave he also finds an ancient mystery. Who was the dead boy and how did he die - and what is the significance of his stone pendant? In a fast-paced and exciting stroy Tyler, Hine and Mandy must put aside their differences to solve the mystery of the disappeaing dolphins - and stay alive when a game of dare goes dangerously wrong!
