Eleven-year-old Swallow lives with her tribe in prehistoric England.
Storytelling by the fireside is part of life, and she loves
listening to ancient tales of courage and adventure.
When Swallow's baby sister falls ill, she sets off with her friend
Ishi on a dangerous journey to find the cure: a precious jadeite
stone of legend.
Across seas and mountains, Swallow's quest leads her through wonder
