L’ultimo cacciatore
Florida, 10,000 years ago. When a terrible fire destroys the tribe’s camp, only six children survive. Six children who will decide, alone, to carry out the great hunt, in search of the last mastodons, creatures that are very precious for their survival. The journey through a wild America full of huge and unknown animals will be an opportunity for them to discover their own talents: Ama has the Talent of Stories, Ocho that of Ropes, Cato of Stone, Beri of Fire. And Roqi? If he doesn’t even have the courage to throw a stone at a leaf-eater, will he ever be able to become a hunter? And above all: will the children be able to survive in the most hostile environment that has ever existed?
