The kids love to make recipes from this cookbook. It is great that the recipes are separated by age groups (for difficulty). The recipes are pretty good, too. I like that it has a spiral binding inside the hard cover.

Excellent coming of age story

+ Can't
+ brilliant, beautiful, powerful folk tale of girl power

This is an excellent coming of age story for a young girl, or boy! Readers will find delightful lore and learn something of New Zealand. The movie wasn't a disappointment, though I'm glad I read the book first. Chrissy K. McVay author of 'Souls of the North Wind'
