Chapter One - Introducing...

Lint – Our hero. Enough said.

Ma – Lint’s mother. Mothers, I have to tell you, haven’t developed much in 3,000 million years. They started out bossy, always thinking they know better, and they are still bossy and think they know better. The only difference between Ma and the modern day mother is that Ma is a bit more hairy.

Olgan – Lint’s older sister. Olgan wants to be a boy and acts like a boy and goes to school with the boys. She is lucky; no one in the village has noticed she is not a boy. But Olgan won't be able to keep her secret for ever.

Tan – Lint’s baby brother. Just like mothers, babies haven’t developed much since Stone Age times. They look the same, eat the same things (milk), say the same things (nothing) and make the same things (poo). Tan actually is old enough to be called a toddler, but this is the Stone Age and the word toddler hasn’t been invented yet, so Tan is still a baby to them.

Clan Chief Ghun – In the absence of any police, government, and general busy bodies, Clan Chief Ghun does all of these things. He is the boss. It doesn’t matter how well he does them either. All that matters is how much meat he and the other hunters bring back.

Unta – Clan Chief Ghun’s son. He is the same age as Lint, the same size as Lint, and they have nothing else in common whatsoever. They are the opposite of friends.

In the Boys’ Stone Age School:

Ekk – He’s neither smart nor strong, but he is the school teacher. His only strength is his stone club.

Dec – The oldest and a natural leader. He has set his sights on being Clan Chief one day.

Ithil – Dec’s loyal second in command.

Ayat – Big, strong, loyal and friendly, Ayat is a favourite with everyone.

Jet – Fast and smart, he and Olgan are somehow both best friends and fierce rivals.

Hohn – Tall, with long, dark hair, Hohn keeps himself to himself.

Ban – Ban has a strong right arm and always wants to use it.
