About this audiobook
'A fine storyteller' Philip Pullman
‘A wonderful book – exciting, fascinating, gripping, beautifully written’ Anthony McGowan
'Highly atmospheric, this impressive story asks questions about human fears across the ages.' Daily Mail
Tuuli is a prehistoric girl, travelling with her tribe through the seasons – making camp, hunting for food and protecting themselves against the many hazards that the climate throws at them. Tuuli knows there’s a bigger world out there, and when she spots a strange boy lurking outside their camp, she realises that he might hold the adventure she is looking for.
He is from another tribe, sent to find safer ground and as he and Tuuli strike up an unlikely friendship, they set out on a journey that will impact the rest of human history.
A vast adventure with a very human heart, full of wild animals, huge scenery and heart-stopping danger and inspired by real anthropological discoveries. The stunning debut novel from Digging for Britain presenter, Professor Alice Roberts, for fans of His Dark Materials, Wolf Brother and The Last Bear.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5*WARNIG—CONTAINS SPOILER* So sweet and heartbreaking. The end really gets you. I coudnt believe that Unďar dies!!!! I was wondering if Tuuli and Unďar have a relationship? It seems like it. I just really love this book. I want to see a book 2!!! This book is inspiring, it has so many twists and turns and mystery. I would recommend this for wolf lovers and Native American fans.
