Project Huia, by Des Hunt

NZ Post Book Award - Junior Fiction
Reviewed by Sarah, 10 years old.
Interested in reading, especially books by Jo Cotterill and Cathy Cassidy.

The Huia was a bird, native to New Zealand, but it is now extinct.  
The book, Project Huia centres around a character, Jim and how he tried to save the endangered Huia in 1947.  The story is set in the present day, and flashes back to 1947.

I think the best thing about the book is how every scene is described in detail and you can visualise the story in your head. 

This book would be enjoyed by everyone over the age of 10.  I found it a really good story, and I couldn’t stop reading it.
