Poto is the perfect fledgling - the apple of her father's eye and a natural at hunting and flying. Anything a k?hu is supposed to be good at, Poto can do best of all. She can't understand why her sister Whet? gets cross with her - it's not her fault she's good at everything! As for her baby brother Ari, he's so weird and annoying.
After their mother is killed by a flock of magpies, Poto and Whet? have to get an injured Ari to safety before a deadly foretold earthquake arrives, unleashing a flood and destroying their home. With the help of the birds and new friends they meet on the way, the hawk siblings journey through the Valley, keeping an eye out for a menacing flock of magpies who are on a mission to take back the Valley for their own.
Can they stop T? the makipai and her flock from ruining the harmony of the Valley? Will aroha win out over hate? And will Poto realise that everyone has something special to offer, even if they can't do everything quite like she does?
