Abandoned as a small baby, Krenn was found and taken in by a tribe. Now it is time for her to leave her adoptive tribe in search of her true tribe, but will she be able to find them in time? For Krenn is not quite eight years old and on her own for the first time in her life. Or is she? As the story progresses, Krenn finds help where she least expects it, and by using her wits is able to survive. Meeting up with another tribe whose customs are more advanced than hers proves to be a turning point in the story - and her insights into adult behaviour and ways of life should spark off plenty of discussions in class or at home. A map at the back of the book and a postscript provide interesting supplementary background information - in fact, the whole book is a treasure trove of fiction woven together with fact. Well worth the read.
