Описание: The Tapu Garden of Eden is the story of an old man and his garden which occupies some now valuable real estate on the slopes of Maungawhau (Mount Eden) in Auckland, New Zealand. That a property developer is scheming to buy the land to build apartments is accidentally discovered by the old man's young neighbour and friend, Hone Wihongi, a student at the local high school. Over the years the old man's kindness has won him many friends among the local Maori and so Hone works with them, and against the wishes of the local borough council, to protect the old man and his garden. He is unknowingly helped in his project by a mysterious boy, unknown to others and unseen by anyone, who secretly visits the old man. The clash of cultures is resolved and the old man's garden - protected by tapu - is saved. But not as a garden.The book is written for adults but teens love it. It's funny, mysterious, sad, exciting. Even struggling readers want to keep reading. That's why it's so popular with teachers and parents.

Описание: In a park in an antipodean city in the 1930s a teenaged boy starts work as an apprentice nurseryman.It's an idyllic world. Patient and unhurried, with a pace as predictable as the seasons. A miniature version of the pre-war colonial empire lying just beyond the park gates. But as secure as the park may seem it can't protect anyone, least of all Tommy, from the changing world outside.There's a war coming. An unwanted baby and heartbreaking changes at home. Through it all the park is a constant. A companion, a teacher, a home and a friend. With it he grows, learning wisdom and patience, as the park brings him friendship, love, knowledge and family. Friendships that will take him far away from home; family that will nurture him throughout his life; and the knowledge to finally understand the park's mysterious white gate.
