Low+Tide

__Low Tide__ starts with Charlie and Wiremu going fishing. Charlie's little sister comes with them. They find out that there is a low tide. They go out to find the ocean and they find a boat. They think it is a treasure ship and go in it. There is a tsunami and they end up in The Knuckle. The Koroua helps them stay alive. They think the Koroua is bad but he isn't. After they have been there they travel back and find their town. It is all old and no one is there. The Koroua tells Charlie and Wiremu to go get the boat. They go on it and sail it into a bridge at the real Jade Bay. Charlie tells his parents that they left his sister and the Koroua at Jade Bay and they go and find them. The town was the exact same but they had to move it because of flooding. The boat was actually a supply boat and the Koroua was one of the sailors. The Koroua was the telegraph runners brother.

I learned that the Maoris were afraid of a Koroua with black teeth. I also learned that they would eat people who they didn't like. I learned that the white men kicked out the Maoris from their land. I also learned that all they had for communication was a telegraph machine.-Josh

I think that this book is good. I like that it has action and it is a survival story. I liked the confusing ending. -Josh
