The Stolen Spear

A good quick read set at the end of the Stone Age. The story follows the themes of belief and trust as well as journey to self discovery. Good for children aged 7+ and perfect alongside a Stone Age topic.

I loved this book it was really good. I liked the bit where Wolf has to find out who stole the ancient spear and his whole village thought Crow has did it and that it was all Wolf’s fault because Crow is his friend. I recommend this book to people who like an adventurous and mysterious book

I liked that the book was set in the Bronze Age and is based on real life places but I didn't like the plot.

It took a while for me to be interested as it didn't talk about the spear until chapter 6. My favourite character was Sparrow because he was a very interesting person and had lots of facts. I also enjoy Crow because she was very kind and funny.
I wouldn't recommend as it took along time to get into it.

Full of mystery when a spear is stolen someone from another island is blamed. Can the wolf bring himself round to suspect a friend. He has to go on an adventure will he catch the thief or will his island be doomed...

This short book will be perfect to share with the children during our Scavengers and Settlers topic. Whilst a work of fiction, it explains well how people lived during the Stone Age and will definitely help create a picture of what it was like. The story follows the adventure of a boy and his dog trying to find a spear that rightfully belongs to his village. Along the way, he meets danger and makes friends. I’m looking forward to reading this to my class.
