Writers of Color 50 Books Challenge

This I liked unreservedly. NZ children’s book, about Josefa, who is the youngest son of a Fijian family living in Onehunga (Auckland suburb currently in the process of being gentrified) who meets a giant warrior claiming to be a protective ancestral spirit, just before dark clouds and pollution start attacking, and the over-entitled Pakeha son of Josefa’s dad’s boss comes over to their place and steals a whale’s tooth pendant that’s sacred to Josefa’s family. Plot, and multicultural fantasy, ensues.
