Scoop and Scribe are two young reporters who search for the secret of Matariki. The boys set off in the Wicked Waka, and with the guidance of a mystical kaumatua they travel to Northland, Tauranga, Rotorua, Napier, Wanganui, Ohakea and down through the Southern Alps to Queenstown. In doing so they save the seven stars of Matariki and put them back where they belong. A lively, modern take on an ancient legend. Excellent Maori vocabulary is woven throughout the story.
