Overview
A fast-paced middle grade thriller with magic and environmentalism at its heart.
Winner of the NZ Booklovers Award for Best Junior Fiction Book 2026
Auckland Council Libraries Top 10 for Kids 2025
It's been almost a year since Nissa Marshall was found alive after miraculously surviving a month lost in the vast, dense wilderness of Fiordland.
While she was alone in the ancient forest, strange and magical things happened. But were they real—or had her imagination created them deep within the wilderness?
When the mysterious forest creatures return for Nissa, she discovers that Fiordland is in grave danger. What are the sparks so afraid of? What secret have they protected for thousands of years? And why do they believe a thirteen-year-old girl is the only one who can save them?
This thrilling sequel to Spark Hunter crackles with the magic of the ancient forest, delivering a high-stakes adventure through one of New Zealand's most spectacular landscapes. Filled with mystery, friendship, courage, and environmental themes, it invites readers into a breathtaking world where an ancient green secret could change everything.
'First and foremost a rollicking adventure. A remarkable combination of absolute realism and total enchantment, this book will captivate young readers.'

'Compelling. The description of this real-life wild New Zealand setting is beautifully portrayed, taking readers deep into the bush with Nissa. This rich realism, mixed deftly with fantastical fairy-like characters, effortlessly continues the immersive story of Spark Hunter.'**
