This is the first Jax Calder book that I have read so I had no idea what I was getting into!
There are a lot of complex issues throughout this book - from sisters best friend, a sister that thinks the world needs to revolve around her and an insecure main character.
Despite this, I was drawn into the story that spans over ten years as the characters continue to grow and face new challenges within their lives.
I was a little bit hesitant when Seb starts working with one of NZ's endangered species as I have worked with this species myself, but Calder has done a lot of research into the plight of this bird and the work that is going into the recovery of the Tara iti and portrayed it wonderfully.
