"Dangerous strangers and a mystery from the past"--Cover.
When Tyler Matthews wins a national competition for a week-long Nature South Eco Tour, he has no idea how much his life will change. After he travels to the bottom of the South Island to join the tour, he meets two other winners, Hine and Mandy - and soon finds himself caught in a maze of mystery and adventure. Someone is rustling cattle, and when Tyler finds the mummified remains of a Moa Hunter in a secret cave he also finds an ancient mystery. Who was the dead boy and how did he die - and what is the significance of his bone pendant? Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
