Tao is an outcast. Unlike the great hunters of his clan, Tao does not want to kill the wild bears or woolly mammoths of the hunt. Instead he wants only to paint them. But only Chosen Ones can be cave painters. What's more, Volt, the clan leader, violently despises Tao. And when the other clan members discover Tao's secret talent, they cast him out into the wilderness alone. There, he befriends a wild wolf dog named Ram, and the mysterious Graybeard, who teaches him thetrue secret of the hunt.

Good prehistory book for kids

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2022

The story of a boy who lived in prehistory times gives some insight about some of the traditions of that time period. Good book for young adults and very easy to read.

I just read this out loud to my first grader as we are going through Story of the World for our homeschool history. We both loved it! I plan on having him read this himself when he’s older

Great 6th Grade book 📙

I read this with my students and they loved it so much they wanted to read the sequal (much harder to find).

Good book about acceptance and believing in yourself.

The boy of the painted cave review

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book was truly phenomenal! A joy to with hold. There were many parts that surprised me. You get to know one character so well or you get to get familiar with the book and then bam there is a twist. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick yet extraordinary read. The only part that I did not like was the author used wording from long ago, which was fine I just would have preferred to have something at the bottom of the page telling me what that word meant. But all-in-all I loved this book! 😃

Solid Book A 6th Grade Boy Who Doesn't Love to Read :)

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2016

read this with my 11 year old son. it was a good reading level for a 6th grader that is not in love with reading. however it built confidence in him and he has gone on to read a couple more books with increasing sophistication.

Perfect book for my nieces 13 year old. I always read what I send them before hand just in case it's to adult for them. I know he will enjoy this book. perfect for an avid young reader. Full of adventure from a time in history that is interesting for a boy his age.
