Two Ice Age kids are orphaned and left to survive alone in the wild after their parents are killed in a bear attack. Tusk and his sister, Flint, discover ancient cave paintings with a horrific warning and instructions on how to survive a deadly meteor headed their way. Tusk is a natural born leader and believes only he can warn others and lead the clans to the land bridge and the New World. Flint has secrets of her own and a plan with a woolly mammoth to unite the animal kingdom before their world is blown away.
I never thought about what it was like to live in prehistoric times before.
This is an Action/Adventure book aimed at Tweens and up.
Tusk and his sister Flint, lose their parents right before their eyes to a wild animal. They are instantly thrown into the adult world without any guidance. Will they remember the things their parents tried to teach them? Will they survive in the Prehistoric world?
What I love best about this story was that I felt as though I was watching it unfold before my very eyes. This is a great coming of age story.
Great quick read for any age especially young readers needing encouragement on some of life's biggest issues, who is sentient, man ,beast or both. Is their life after death? Courage and faith to continue in the darkest hour. I can't wait for my daughter to read this :) awesome writing!
I've been interested in a prehistoric novel since last winter. When I bought this one I didn't realize it would be geared more for kids. Sometimes while reading it I thought I was in the 1800's with native Americans rather then prehistoric kids.
