What if several volcanic eruptions destroyed most of New Zealand's North Island? >One small village is known to have survived in this bleak landscape. This is New Zealand after the lava. This is all that remains of New Zealand, thirty years after the volcanic explosions. Angus is a youngster who grows up here. How do you describe a forest, or even one mighty tree, to a person who has never seen one? Getting lost one day, he discovers trees without knowing what they are. The other villagers do not believe him, but he brings back proof: branches thick with leaves which the elders recognise. The villagers are unable to find the trees and Angus has forgotten the way. So begins Angus's quest. His dead grandfather, Rod MacKenzie, whom Angus knows was a gardener, is now a ghostly presence who visits him at night and explains through poems and stories what trees and gardens looked like, and much more... This is a novella with poems, essays and other writings. 45k. Intended for adults and teenagers.
