95bFM's Loose Reads: Pātea Boys/Ngāti Pātea by Airana Ngarewa / by Time Out Bookstore

I pānui a Abby i Pātea Boys/Ngāti Pātea nā Airana Ngarewa mō Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Ka kōrero ia ki a Jonny mō tēnei pukapuka whakamīharo: (arohamai, e ako tonu ana ahau!)

From the bestselling author of The Bone Tree comes a lively and playful bilingual collection of stories about growing up in Pātea. Interlinked and full of recurring characters, these stories are about growing up in small-town Aotearoa - sneaking away during cross country or doing bombs while the lifeguard isn't looking.

The collection is designed to bridge a gap between children's books in te reo and full-length literary works. With each story featured in both English and te reo Māori, it's the perfect resource for those on their reo learning journeys as well as for readers who enjoyed The Bone Tree.
