Structured as a series of rangers' missions, this excellent book educates intermediate-age children (and their families)about the environmental issues facing them today, and encourages them to make informed choices on a range of subjects from saving energy and water to using transport, technology and products. The topics are divided thematically into three sections covering a) local New Zealand issues, such as pollution, b) global issues, such as climate change, and c) projects (such as how to make a compost heap or recycle cardboard and plastic into new products). Each topic contains a introduction to the subject, 15-20 suggestions for things they can do to help 'save the world', illustrations, jokes, quotes and useful website addresses for further information. Each of the first 12 topics also contains an inspirational story about an 'eco hero' who has contributed an outstanding achievement to the environment.

In the late nineteenth century, James Collier and his artist father travel to the famous Pink and White Terraces in New Zealand's volcanic lakes region. While his father paints, James explores the village of Te Wairoa and meets Will, a young Maori man who has returned home to attend a tangi.
All is not well in Te Wairoa - illness has struck the community and strange things are happening in the water on Lake Tarawera.
Then, out on the lake, James, his father and Will witness the eerie sight of a Maori war canoe. Is it really a waka wairua - a spirit canoe?
Meanwhile beneath sombre Mount Tarawera, volcanic forces gather. the year is 1886, and the name Tarawera is about to become famous throughout the land.
"Haere mai, e Tai, kei te wera to ao"
