Customer Reviews

Great series
This is a great series. My 10 year old borrowed the 1st book from a friend and loved it. We have gone on to buy the whole series. This edition we bought as a gift - such a good series that my daughter was happy to give the book as a gift even though she would normally consider a book to boring for a gift.

Value on all levels
To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this novel and its one that has more than pleasantly surprised as the story not only captivated but was heartwarming as well as frighteningly good in all respects. The characters came alive in their ancient world and with something for everyone as well as a voyage of discovery then you really know that is a story harking back to the earliest traditions of tales round the fireside. If you want a YA tale in the tradition of Jean M Auel then this is definitely the series that going to step up and present that magical moment.

Finally add to the mix that this is a compendium then not only is it competitively priced but presents three books of the series for the Young Reader to not only enjoy but creates a series that they can definitely get behind and may well persuade a few to become anthropologists.
