Quite an interesting tale

Young Lari is a Wise Animal--not an ape, but not quite a human. When making his first flint spearhead, he finds that striking the flint with a certain stone produces fantastic sparks, but making sparks quickly leads to a fire in the cave. When Lari and his family learn how useful their new friend can be, it becomes an integral part of their existence. But, friend fire can be capricious, and he does not always stay where Lari wishes him to stay.This is quite an interesting tale. The award-winning author of this book shows off her immense talent, by bringing the situation of the story to life. Even though the characters were so different, I found myself caring for them. I enjoyed this book, and recommend it to anyone interested in fiction set in prehistoric times.
