Review: When they first offered me the opportunity to review this book,I had no idea what to expect. Thankfully it was a good book!
 
At the beginning of the book Zan lives the live that one would expect during these times. Zan is now old enough to help his elders to kill a lion. After this event, Zan is given the name of Zan-Gah and goes on a journey to find his twin brother who disappeared a few years back.
 
Zan was a different but interesting character to see the story from. He lives in a time where there is no technology and live in caves. Zan described the things he saw throughout his journey, which I thought was nice since it gave you a view of how the Earth would have been during that time.
 
Many years go by when Zan finally returns home. I liked how the others accepted him back into his home. He changed as the years went by and at the end, when he returns, he sees things differently and helps his tribe so that they don't have to keep fighting with other tribes.
 
This book was something different to read but at the same time it was a good book. I'm glad that I gave this book a chance, because I came out of what I normally read and gave me chance to read something different!
 
This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review.
