Judges'' report, LIANZA Children and Young Adult Book Awards Dear Tane, I''ve never prayed to a god, so hope this is okay. If I get it wrong, don''t strike me down with a thunderbolt or anything - I''m just a kid. Conrad Cooper needs a favour. He''s just found out about Tane, the god of the forest, and he''s decided that Tane is the perfect guy to solve his family problems. After all, the more high-profile gods probably have huge waiting lists, right? In return, Conrad will do anything to repay Tane, no matter how much trouble it causes. But will a Maori god listen to the prayers of a ten-year-old Pakeha boy? And, worse still, does Tane even exist? Set in 1978 against the Bastion Point occupation, Conrad Cooper''s Last Stand is junior fiction full of humour but with a powerful core. Award-winning author Leonie Agnew has created a surprising, brave and completely engaging novel for young readers.
