Childrens
Eight-year-old Kahu, a member of the Maori tribe of
Whangara, New Zealand, fights to prove her love, her
leadership, and her destiny. Her people claim descent from
Kahutia Te Rangi, the legendary "whale rider." In every
generation since Kahutia, a male heir has inherited the
title of chief. But now there is no male heir, and the
aging chief is desperate to find a successor. Kahu is his
only great-grandchild--and Maori tradition has no use for a
girl. But when hundreds of whales beach themselves and
threaten the future of the Maori tribe, it is Kahu who
saves the tribe when she reveals that she has the whale
rider's ancient gift of communicating with whales.
