A story about a modern boy who accidentally goes back in time and lives with the family of a stone age girl called Om for several months. On returning to his own time, only a few hours have passed, but he is inspired to become an archaeologist and study the Stone Age.
The cave art (and a mammoth skull in one of the overview pictures of the camp) show that Om lives in the Old Stone Age - but the bulk of the book showing all the activities and technologies of daily life would be just as applicable to the hunter-gatherers living in the Middle Stone Age too.
