Clan

Atlatl, a boy injured as a child, rescues a sabertooth cub from a dire wolf and brings it back to his clan. His decision sets off a clash between his longing for his father's respect and the clan's strict customs, culminating in his banishment. Part survival tale, part animal-human friendship, and part redemption story, the novel follows Atlatl as he struggles to survive the harsh prehistoric wilderness while confronting the consequences of his choice.
