Synopsis
Winner of the Best First Book Award in the 2022 New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults
The judges said: 'Perfectly pitched for middle fiction readers. Making this story's light shine bright is te reo Māori blended throughout and a cast of supporting characters that are easily recognisable.'
Something is hiding deep in the forest – Nissa has seen mysterious, supernatural lights in the trees.
What are they, why do they seem to be trying to attract her attention and why does no one else seem to notice them?
When Nissa sneaks away from her school camp to track down the lights, she finds herself lost in a dangerous wonderland.
She's not the only one at risk — the Fiordland forest and the creatures in it are under threat too.
What can she do where adults have failed? And can Nissa find her way back home?
In Fiordland, the lost usually stay lost . . .
