'A classic children's tale – a new generation of readers will enjoy this story.'– The Scots Magazine
'This is a fascinating story about a stone-age village on Orkney and their struggle to deal with new technology and ways of thinking. An ideal read for history fans.'– Waterstone's Guide to Children's Books
'As stories about the Stone Age communities are not that plentiful, teachers of Year 3 might struggle to find something that will appeal. This is a good story about Skara Brae and the changes that affect a community as it moves from one type of culture base to another. It is not a 'horrible history' type of book but a genuine fiction that children enjoy following. Thumbs up from Year 3 so far!'– Teacher review (via Amazon.co.uk)
