Home In The Badlands

Home In The Badlands is the third of the three part series The Badlands Saga, an adventure story for middle grade readers. Laura, 14, and her brother Mike, 12, are trapped in the Stone Age, living with a cave-dwelling family. Life is harsh and food is scarce.

Stranded with them is the dizzy scientist who invented the method of time travel, and one of the archaeologists who has taken over as head of the family following the death of the family's father. Mike's attempt to help the scientist find a solution to their problem almost proves fatal.

Members of a more advanced tribe arrive to bargain for the family's womenfolk. Expecting trouble, Laura masterminds the cave's defences. After the enemy attacks, Mike must undertake a rescue.

The last window to the twenty-first century will arrive soon, and the kids will have to travel a long distance to meet it. A natural disaster threatens the enemy's camp, though, and Mike knows how to save them. If he stays to assist, he and his sister might be stuck in the Stone Age forever.
