Cuz is a book that we recently started reading together in class. It features 2 main characters River and Huia. River and Huia are cousins and River is 14 years old and has blonde dreadlocks. Huia is also 14 and has black long curls as River is blonde but they both share the same brown serious eyes. River is physically strong whilst Huia is mentally strong, Huia knows a lot about her family history while River has very little knowledge about his family history. Recently Huia's dad (River's uncle) Toe came and took Huia and River around the outskirts of the South Island. Then suddenly River smelt gas both Huia and Toe replied saying "It's just this old boat". Then * BOOM*! An explosion  bursted up in flames throwing Huia overboard. But Toe's friend was down by the engine so Toe went after him. River suddenly got bounced into the ocean and struggled to bring Huia to shore. River struggled to say to Huia about Toe who was certain about his death. Huia's heart shattered and River could see it in her eyes that were swelling up with tears. The next day they boith searched for Toe but found nothing but a  ripped up ragged shirt that belonged to Toe, Huia and River ringed out their clothes and Huia threw the shirt on. As they were searching for food Huia slid down a deep sudden dip and broke one of her ribs. So River layed her leaning on a tree, set up camp and finally got a fire started. 

Will River and Huia survive?
