Book description
One small body curled around the mass of sleepers. Different. Yes,
I'm different . . .
Four million years ago, then, a young girl - Li - lives with her
tribe along the shores of a mothering sea. But Li is different. A
thinker, a questioner, her sense of wonder and intuition could help
shape the future of her race.
In Africa, now, on the site of that very same plain - Vinny visits
her father who is working as part of a team searching for fossil
remains of our ancestors. Fascinated by the tiny fragments of bone
that are painstakingly dug out of the ground, Vinny's curiosity helps
lead the team towards a major discovery . . .
An enthralling and original tale from the award-winning author of Tulku.
