Hine and the Tohunga Portal by Ataria Sharman
If only Hohepa hadn't sung so loudly
If only Hine hadn't got angry with him
If only Hohepa hadn't run off
Maybe then the no-eyes wouldnt have snatched him.
Hopeha is taken through a portal into a place where there are gods, fairy people and tribes of birds. The evil sorcerer Kae has built an army of cursed animals, and he is fighting to rule this world. And Hohepa is part of his plan. This throws Hine into an adventure to rescue her brother, break the curse and save this world from destruction.
