The Bone Tree
A story of two brothers, born and raised in the shadow of Taranaki Maunga, from major new literary talent and no. 1 bestselling author Airana Ngarewa.
Kauri and Black's mum has been gone six months now. Their dad is barely holding on and the threat of child services taking Black looms large. Kauri won't let that happen, and so he embarks on a journey into their family's past. The only way to break the cycle of violence is to understand where it all began.
But when an accident brings child services to their door, the race is on for Kauri to save his brother. And he will learn that no matter how brave or strong he is, he cannot do it alone.
A stunning and unforgettable story, perfect for fans of Aue by Becky Manawatu, Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera and Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
