Jack, Tim, Ella, Harry, Gemma, Louie, Lucy and Terri live on Tui Street. Here are 7 separate tales of their daily lives of school, family and friends, but all with a touch of fantasy, fairytale, or maori legend.

They are all great characters, sometimes dealing with things on their own, pushing their  boundaries a little, helping each other, and learning about others in the street without any sign of preachy morals or corny outcomes.

Winner of the NZ Tom Fitzgibbon Award for a debut author, Tui Street Tales would make a great Read a Loud for class or home reading.
