Review by: Barry Wolhuter on Nov. 04, 2012 :
Great read! This book could be used by teachers as an ongoing comprehension exercise. The characters are all well established and believable. When is the next one coming Brad? a great opportunity for parents to read to their children, Dads especially. Dads, take the time to read to your children, you will get a big reward.

Just started reading this book to my son and already it's proving to be a very wise investment... The characters are genuine and well formed and the author has obvious expertise in prehistoric mainland Australia... A great read so far and an engaging journey for my son and I to undertake together... Very well done!
