    About this ebook

    Up - the little flightless weka - likes to visit his human friends on the remote southern isle of Rakiura. However they can’t figure out each other’s language, so there is always an adventure to had in the misunderstanding. For children 8 to 10.
    In Book 4 of the series, Up has a most discombobulating interaction with music. Is it an issue of mind over matter? In the end there is sweet harmony.
    Book 1: Up makes his very first human acquaintance - the Rev Dyson.
    Book 2: Up gets caught up in some very magical dangers.
    Book 3: Up restores the sparkle to Xmas at the Christian Allsorts Church.
    Book 5: Up tries to look after the sick and becomes an accidental fashion stylist.

    Mac Dyson

    Mac Dyson likes playing with words and sounds. He writes books and makes music. He is a Kiwi by birth and nature, but after a sojourn in the UK as a musician, he now lives in the bustling metropolis of Sydney. His life has included stints as a TV Director, Pre-school Educator, Cleaner, University Lecturer but his favourite place to work is the theatre. He is particularly fond of Shakespeare - his favourite play being "Much Ado About Nothing". As a singer he loves John Dowland and Henry Purcell songs, and the works of Joni Mitchell, Prince, David Bowie, Bjork, and Aphex Twin. His life has been quite an adventure - perhaps why his books are on the weird side - but he has enjoyed a lot of it very much. Due mainly to a wonderful selection of 'human beans' that have journeyed with him. Thanks yous fellas. Kia kaha, Mac D x
