On the way to school, Amorangi realises he forgot to bring an old object to school to talk about. Quickly, he and his sister, Millie, decide to travel back in time and find something. They've travelled back before, after all. He pulls a piece of bark from a nearby rimu and pockets it to ensure they return then they jump back in time. Then begins an adventure that they nearly don't make it back from as one of their ancestors dies, and Amorangi and Millie find themselves fading away. In their travels, the children experience aspects of events in New Zealand history, such as the Taranaki wars, the Tarawera eruption, the Wahine disaster and quarantine onMatiu/Somes Island.

Lauren Keenan

Lauren Keenan (Te Atiawa ki Taranaki) started writing after having children, to give herself something to think about that wasn't baby food, sleep routines, and a pile of laundry so big it ought to have its own gravitational pull.

She has eight short stories published in three short story collections: Huia 11 (2015), Huia 12 (2017) and Huia 13 (2019). In 2017 she won the Pikihuia Best Short Story award, and in 2019 was a finalist in the Pikihuia Best Emerging Writer category.

Lauren has a Master of Arts in History, and has worked for both central and local government in New Zealand and the UK. She calls Wellington home. Lauren's #lifegoal is to see 50 countries before she's 50, although, admittedly, she still has a way to go. The 52 Week Project is her first full-length book.
