So, when Ms Van Mill announces that for their Life Skills class they would be taking care of a semi-sentient egg baby with the partners that they had picked out beforehand, a small window of opportunity presents itself. Despite his best friends’ attempts at cheering him up after his breakup, which honestly isn’t doing much considering they’re hopelessly in love with each other, Tim is feeling more lonely than ever. With his dad leaving to go off and do who-knows-what, his girlfriend leaving him for someone else, and Elliott and the rest of the Minders aggravating him in every waking moment, Tim Te Maro is most certainly down on his luck. Although magic has been present all of his life, as his mum and dad both wield it, Tim’s recent experiences at school have been anything but magical. This novel follows the story of Tim Te Maro, a Year 13 student at Fox Glacier High School for the Magically Adept in New Zealand. Valley’s Tim Te Maro and the Subterranean Heartsick Blues is a tale of the nature of relationships, an exploration of the magic in our lives, and a comforting spark of life for LGBTQIA+ youth in New Zealand. Published in 2021 and winner of the 2021 Ampersand Prize, H.S. Tim Te Maro and the Subterranean Heartsick Blues
