Conrad Cooper’s Last Stand – Leonie Agnew: Dear Tane, I've never prayed to a god, so hope this is okay. If I get it wrong, don't strike me down with a thunderbolt or anything - I'm just a kid. Conrad Cooper needs a favour. He's just found out about Tane, the god of the forest, and he's decided that Tane is the perfect guy to solve his family problems. After all, the more high-profile gods probably have huge waiting lists, right? In return, Conrad will do anything to repay Tane, no matter how much trouble it causes. But will a Maori god listen to the prayers of a ten-year-old Pakeha boy? And does Tane really exist? Set in 1978 against the Bastion Point occupation, Conrad Cooper's Last Stand is a surprising new novel from award-winning author Leonie Agnew. RRP$19.99 | May 2014 | Puffin
