    About this ebook

    After falling asleep in a park, fourteen-year old Zan awakens to find herself transported back in time to the forest world of a band of prehistoric cave dwellers. Adopted by the group, she learns their language and customs, exults in their triumphs, and shares in their grief. However, the society's wise woman has her doubts about Zan, who she believes has brought misfortune with her. In mortal danger, Zane is able to return to her own time—an eleven-month absence which was only a few hours back home.

    Norma Fox Mazer (1931–2009) was an American author and teacher best known for her books for young adults. Among the honors Mazer earned for her writing were a National Book Award nomination, a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award (for Saturday, The Twelfth of October), and a Newbery Medal.

      I loved this book as a tween!! I recently reread it, and I still have to give it high marks. A young accidentally travels back in time to an prehistoric time-she discovers the People and lives among them learning their language and ways--forever changing her life and theirs--very good!

      I stumbled upon this book in my junior high library many years ago, and it's alway been a favorite of mine. It took a while for me to track it down, but I finally got a copy on Ebay 3 years ago.

      I read this book when I was 15, and have never forgotten it. Years later I found it again. Great story, one of a kind.
