Simple, but entertaining.
This book is perfect for a youngster,offering new and entertaining ideas, but no great vocabulary. It reminds me of a book called, I think, The Cave Boy, that I found and read when I was in the fifth grade. That was when I first learned of cave paintings and fell in love with archaeology. My teacher, Mrs. Woodson, hated my putting it inside my textbook so I had lost the place when she called on me.

This Book Ended Too Quickly
In no time, I finished this book. It was easy to read. I liked how it told of tribal conflict, banishment, and getting new beliefs.
