Welcome to the Stone Age! Flint Dog is the story of a ten-year-old boy, Youngest. He has just two dreams — the first is to be a Hunter like his big brother and his father, and his second is to have a new dog of his own, after his beloved White Tail dies. Both dreams are fulfilled in the form of misshapen lump of flint — the flint dog of the story's title.
On the way Youngest has several adventures concerning baskets, caves, a mammoth and a menhir.
Flint Dog, set in France, has been very carefully researched. It brings to life a period in our history that is often neglected.
Suitable for 7-13 year olds - young readers who are ready to be stretched.
