Rimu: The Tree of Time (an Amorangi and Millie Adventure)

Author(s): Lauren Keenan

NZ Children & Young Adult

Travelling back in time to do your homework really is a terrible idea.


On the way to school, Amorangi realises he forgot to bring an old object to show his class. Luckily, he and his sister, Millie, know how to go back in time to get something. Unluckily, things go wrong as soon as they arrive in the past, when they cause their beloved rimu to be chopped down – with tragic consequences.


Then begins an adventure that takes them to some of the most dramatic moments in Aotearoa New Zealand’s history. From the Tarawera eruption to the Wahine disaster and the New Zealand Wars, Amorangi and Millie fight to restore the rimu – and save themselves. Will they be able to put things right before it's too late?
