Historical: Coming Home
The story of Harry and his loyal horse Blaze as New Zealand rushes to support the British during the time of the war between them and the South African Dutch citizens, known as the Boer War. On the eve of departure Blaze panics and escapes. Harry has to leave alone but throughout his experiences, the voyage around the world and the horror of war, he yearns for his steed and prays he is okay. Meanwhile Blaze is facing his own dangers as he struggles to return to the family farm. Fantasy: I Wish
Trent Karam is bored and depressed. He and his mum have moved to a new town and he must start at a new school. All he wants is to be something more than ordinary - to stand out. Enter a magical book-elf hidden in a mysterious box of books the movers appear to have left in error. Trent is stuck with reading the books because the movers have not delivered his computer - but then he finds they actually contain stories that can help him and the book-elf can grant wishes.
Future: Strange Meeting

Sophie is proud of her dad and the work he is involved in but fellow student Pita, says his Koru is warning that the work they're doing isn't honest - it is dangerous. Who can she believe? Meanwhile, way out in space, a large meteor is waiting - being pulled by the gravity of Saturn and Jupiter along with the influence of our sun. It waits like a snooker ball awaiting the cue. Which way will it go?
