Te Kokorangi
Witi Ihimaera's lively Matariki story - The Astromancer - translated into te reo Maori by Heni Jacob.
Te Kokorangi is looking for four new warriors to teach him the stories of Matariki and the calendar. Three boys are chosen, and one girl, an orphan, named Aria. Aria insists on going with her dog, who is not hers. Aria seems bored with the lessons, and does not want to be instructed.
But the people are in danger. They may soon be in serious trouble with Ruatapu Te Pukurua. Or will Aria save the people?
E kimi ana a Te Kokorangi i etahi pia hou tokowha hei ako i nga korero o Matariki me te maramataka. Kowhiria ana etahi tama tokotoru, me tetahi kotiro, he pani, ko Aria te ingoa. Tohe ana a Aria kia haere ano ko tana kuri haunga i tona taha. Ka ahua hoha a Aria i nga akoranga, kaore hoki ia e pai kia tohutohungia ia.
Engari kua noho morearea te iwi. Taihoa pea ratou ka tino raru i a Ruatapu Te Pukurua. Ae ranei ma Aria ano te iwi e whakaora?
