In this parable, winningly illustrated with pencil drawings by the author, young Moki must learn to fly in order to escape the Maori hunters. Unfortunately, Moki is a Moa bird, a giant (now-extinct) flightless bird of New Zealand, so escape is not so easy. Katie Beck's book has been acclaimed by educators and conservationists alike. It's suitable for ages 9 to 12.  (NZL50, $15.95)
