Let the Chase Begin

Faye Delaney and her parents stay in other people’s houses all over the South Island of New Zealand while they save money for their own home. Faye doesn’t mind – she’s home-schooled, and each new house-sit comes with bonuses: pets or farm animals, gardens or forests, and always a fresh piece of Aotearoa to explore.

While the Delaneys tour the South Island, so do rumours. People report seeing large, slinking shadows while out for a walk, riding their bike, or sipping a cup of tea – feline shadows that fade before anyone can get a second look. As a veteran house-sitter, Faye knows animals. And she hears the ring of truth in these rumours. Armed with a backpack, a notebook, and a great sense of direction, she’s going to get to the bottom of this possibly ancient mystery.
