The Boy with the Bronze Axe af Kathleen Fidler
A thrilling adventure story centered round life in a Stone Age village. The strage boy who arrives suddenly in a boat brings with him an exe made from a substance he calls bronze.
"Chikos hem är gården Glenbield där han vuxit upp, omgiven av människor som tycker om honom. Men så dör hans allra bästa vän, farfar Murray, och i sin sorg ger sig Chiko av från gården, ut i stora världen.
Han får vara med om många äventyr, både roliga och farliga, men så en dag känner han i luften att det snart är vinter, och han bestämmer sig för att återvända hem.
Men Chiko har en lång och svår färd framför sig, och det kommer att hända honom väldigt mycket, innan han får träffa sin älskade familj igen..."… (mere)

This is a good book, well worth the read. Turk has character and depth, and you will like him.… (mere)
