We also demonstrated Stone Age fire lighting techniques so that the children could really appreciate what it meant to try and survive in the Stone Age. Michelle Paver is an international bestselling author with over 3 million copies of her books sold in 37 countries across the globe. ![]() We brought into school animal skins that would have been used for clothing, different Stone Age weapons that the children got to have a go at using including an atl-atl throwing spear in the school field, we showed the children different trapping techniques that were described in the book specifically ‘deadfall’ traps and how natural cordage would have been made and used. The Viper’s Daughter by Michelle Paver, the first new novel in the Wolf Brother series for 10 years, will be published in hardback by Head of Zeus in spring 2020. To support the reading of this book we arranged a number activities that the children could take part in that actually featured in the book. Michelle Paver was born in Nyasaland (now Malawi), where her South African father ran the mini Nyasaland Times, and her Belgian mother wrote a weekly gossip column. A group of Year 6 children have been reading ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver which is an excellent book about a Stone Age boy and his struggle for survival while trying to fulfil his quest to stop all life being destroyed in the forest. ![]()
