"A dazzling read –this book transported me headlong into the Stone Age and returned me home with a bigger, warmer, wilder heart."
​
Sophie Kirtley, Author of The Wild Way Home
"A rich and heart-warming adventure steeped in Stone Age history, while still telling a relatable, everyday story of understanding, friendship, and respect that children will recognise and love."
​
Hannah Gold, Author of The Last Bear
Friendship is tough in the Stone Age, especially when your best friend is part-Water Spirit…
​
Ever since Little Meg became Sunhealer's Shadow, she's been learning to understand the ways of the Spirits. So when a storm sweeps through her village, she knows they are angry. Worse still, they are angry with her for keeping back the bones she was meant to offer up to them. The bones of her dead parents.
​​
As the rain clears, Meg discovers a girl washed up on the seashore. She speaks in a strange language and scratches pictures of distant lands in the sand. Despite the suspicious mutterings of the villagers, the pair forge an unlikely friendship. But if Meg wants to appease the Spirits and save her people, she must return the girl to her home.
​
Their journey will take them across the wild sea, to a place that exists only in legends. But will Meg survive to tell the tale?
