This enduring survival story set at the end of the last Ice Age is now celebrating its 20th year in print. When Maroo and her family become trapped on the Great Plain in blizzard conditions and with little food, they have only one chance of survival: for Maroo and her younger brother, Otak, to reach the winter camp and get help. The fastest trail to the camp is over the White Mountain, where there are treacherous glaciers, steep climbs, and mountain spirits. With the rest of their family depending on them, Maroo and Otak set out alone. But when Otak goes missing, Maroo is forced to make the most difficult of all decisions: to stay and search for her brother or to continue on to the camp in order to save the rest of her family. This modern classic offers readers a gripping tale of survival as well as a vivid portrait of prehistoric people. The 20th Anniversary edition has a striking new cover and a new Author’s Note.

The book Maroo of the Winter Caves is a very interesting book. It is about a young girl who must save her family before they all die. It all started when a Maroo and her family must migrate to another area because they needed more food since winter is about to begin. While they go they go through many adventures such as, when Maroo and her younger brother Otak find a puppy. Then they asked their Old Mother if they are allowed to keep it so that it can help them on their hunting, and she said yes. Along the way Tikek (their mother) was pregnant so that slowed them down and also Areg (their father) was killed on a hunting journey. They found out that he died by falling off a cliff. Then Old Mother said that there wasn't enough time for them to get to the area where they migrated to, and they didn't have enough time before the blizzards would hit so she thought that they should build a snow house to keep them safe. Since, they didn't have enough food to last them throughout the whole winter, she thought that Maroo and Otak should go alone to find help, but Tikek didn't like the idea but had to go along with it. One day while they were going, Maroo couldn't find Otak so she thought of her Old Mother's words, which said that if one of them died or got lost the other one, must leave them and find help. First, she left her younger brother to find help; second, she and the others rescued the others in the snow house; and third her brother returned. They found out that his ankle was broken, but since the dog was with him they survived until his ankle got better. I liked this book Maroo of the Winter Caves because it told things about the early people of life. In a way, they were like cave people to me. It tells about their environment: where they lived, what they ate, and what they did in life.
