About this book
NOW WITH NEW COVER ART!
The Ghost Warriors (Book 1): An action-packed prehistoric adventure, in which coming of age is the difference between life and death. When a brutal warlord abducts their friend Hanna, thirteen-year-old Tioga and his best friend Kopi decide to take matters into their own hands and rescue her. But their plan spins out of control and triggers an attack on their own village. Their survival, and their tribe's existence, depends on their wilderness skills, their cunning brand of "ghost warfare", and bravery that they didn't know they possessed. [Fiction based on real life events. Reading age: 10 - 18]],
The Ghost Warriors (Book 2): Battle for the Emperor's Skull is now available too!
