Kimi the Kekeno’s Big Adventure by Shelley Burne-Field

A funny and exciting ocean adventure with heaps of heart, this is emerging talent Shelley Burne-Field’s second middle grade novel for young readers.

Kimi the kekeno is going on the biggest adventure of his life — the long and scary journey to the magical Stone Circle.

Along the way Kimi and his friends meet a giant squid who needs their help, a wise old stingray and a very hungry hammerhead shark.

Does shy and gentle Kimi have what it takes to make the journey? Can the friends still make it to the Stone Circle moon ceremony on time?

From the author of Brave Kāhu and the Pōrangi Magpie, this is a story about friendship, learning to be brave and loving ourselves as we are.
