This Land Was Their Land
This week I'm reviewing In the Shadow of the Mammoth by Patricia Nikolina Clark. This book is about the time and the people that lived here in North America 12,000 years ago! The author was inspired by real archaeological finds in Washington State near where I live. The story is fiction, but there are a bunch of scientists who say this is really, maybe how these prehistoric people could have lived. Anyway, the story is about a boy named Zol who is 11 and about to become a mammoth hunter for the tribe. Only he's scared because his dad was killed that way.
In the book, Zol and his friend, Tungo, live in the shadow of the ice-age glaciers. And they do exciting stuff like practice spear-throwing and get attacked by a wolf and a saber-toothed cat. They hunt and fish and gather for every morsel of food. And they make their own stuff, like weapons and a birdcage for when Zol tames a crow. I had the most fun reading this book and imagining how things were! You're gonna love it.
On the Dudes Summer Book Bingo card, here's how this book qualifies:
HISTORICAL (although it's actually prehistory), TIME MACHINE (because this is where I'd go if I had one), BACK IN THE DAY, I LEARNED SOMETHING, and IT'S NATURAL.
