Nell and the Cave Bear

by Martin Brown

Description

‘It was a long, long time ago, when the land beyond the mountains was an everlasting sea of ice . . . But below the mountains, spring had finally come to the valley.’

Orphan girl Nell lives with her Cave Clan family. She loves them all, even though they are always wanting her to do chores for them, like sweeping the cave and carrying firewood.

But more than anything else, she loves her pet Cave Bear – who has lived with her since he was a tiny cub and is the best friend a girl could have.

So when Nell learns that her clan are planning to give Cave Bear away as a gift to the Sea Clan, she decides to run away – by following the tiny stream outside the cave and seeing where it leads. And that’s just the beginning of her adventures.

With the classic appeal of WINNIE-THE-POOH – and a wonderful blend of wisdom, history, humour and gentle peril – this is a wise and entertaining tale for chapter-book readers.
