Whetū Toa and the Hunt for Ramses (#2) | Steph Matuku

Whetū is about to start school, and no one is happy. Not the chicken. Not the bull. Especially not Ramses the golden ram, who goes missing.

Tori the cat and Whetū go on a rescue mission. They catch starbeams to strange worlds and find Ramses on another planet. But there's a problem: an evil magician controls the planet.
