Blast to the Past: A Stone Age Adventure

Author Tommy Donbavand

Historical

friendship, coexistence, overcoming adversity

While exploring a local cave system, best friends Sam and Alissa find ancient cave paintings, alongside two small handprints – perhaps those of the original artists. Sam and Alissa press their own hands against these prints and are zapped back in time! The two modern-day children are now lost in a world of pet mammoths, fast-paced hunts and daring escapes from the claws of sabre-toothed tigers. How will Sam and Alissa find their way home? You decide!
