"When Lopini is replaced as kapa haka leader at school, he starts to spiral. It doesn't matter that he thinks it's a good idea, or that he agreed to the change in the first place. He's a hard-out perfectionist and this feels like a public failure. Lopini's best mate, Fi, thinks he's overreacting. After all, he's so successful that everyone at school calls him Lopini the Legend. But Lopini still freaks out whenever something goes wrong - and he HATES it. He decides to practise failing, so he won't feel like that anymore. Can Lopini still be a legend, if everyone knows he isn't perfect?"--Publisher information.
