Reviews

[Leslee Jacobs · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of my favorite books by Paul Teledgi. His character development drew me into this story. I was not sure if I would really enjoy it, but I had to keep reading in order to find out where and what this character was going to do next and how he would handle all the things that happened to him. Paul Telegdi has a way with taking average people and showing their courage, ingenuity, and strengths that are developed by the challenges they face.

Clear incite into what author thinks daily life would be in early cave dwelling times. This book is exciting to read as The Standing Rock clan needs to figure out what is causing the changes in the earth, causing game to retreat, climate changes and their need to run for their lives. See how the tribe must overcome; how handicapped Chaiko must fight nature and adapt to try to live though this ordeal. This is the beginning of a multi book tale.
