Behind dusty orange hills, where the sky stretches down to the sea, there’s a magical, wild, windy place called Te Mata Hapuku.

Sam and Te Rerehua love to visit their Grandma and Poua at Te Mata Hapuku (also known as Birdlings Flat). They enjoy listening to the stories, accompanied by the backdrop of whipping wind, flashing torchlight, and the splash of Poua’s gaff in the water.

However, one night, Grandma notices something mysterious. Someone has stolen some stars from the sky. Then the patupaiarehe come out to play on the beach...

Can Sam and Te Rerehua rescue the Matariki stars?
