==Response: This book was a little bit funny and clever but I found some bits a bit boring and I think Roald Dahl just gave up on the descriptive writing between the middle and the end so it was not as good then, but I enjoyed it never the less.==

There was one line that I thought was very humorous and clever it went like this.
=="What I can not here you speak louder," said Bean.Bean was always deaf because he never cleaned his ears and his ears were always clogged up with dead flies and bits of chewing gum and mouldy old food and all sorts of disgusting things.==

One day she gets especially angry with the principal (better known as "the trunchball) and some how manages to knock over a glass of water and spill it all over the trunchball just by looking at it!

It's Chilling winds send shivers down their spines and the noisy sound of chattering teeth can always be heard. One day a member from the ink tribe comes to Tyrone's village and tells the best of stories about a so cold Man Hunter tribe who can apparently through spears like lightning and can even bring down Mammoth! But when Tyrone's little sister dies of starvation because of such little food, Tyrone decides that enough is enough, and him and his sister embark on a magnificent journey to find the so called Man Hunters. ==

== Response: This book was great. I really likes how it used descriptive writing to describe how each person felt in their own perspective. My favourite part in the book was a certain page that described the wind BRILLIANTLY! It used so many metaphors and similes in this one page but it was not to much to make me switch off. == == I felt empathy for: Tyrone. Because he is the only one in his tribe who is determined to find the man hunters and nobody believes that such a journey could be accomplished. But Tyrone's determination stops him from staying and he sets of bravely with his sister with no food and a spear. ==

== Plot: Tyrone and his sister come across some gory banners. The banners are stained with bright red blood and their a spokes in the ground with human bodies stuck through them! They Believe these banners must belong to the Man Hunter tribe. They pass through the banners. No sooner have they stepped on the tribes land, an army of tribes people corner them and take them prisoner to their tribe. Tyrone and his sister face slavery but one day the tribes people embark on a bison hunt. Tyronne is ordered to carry the fresh meat back to the tribe and during the hunt, one of the tribes people silently walks away from the group, trying to prove himself a man this young boys strength is no match for the great bison and the bison charges! Tyrone see's this happening and runs to the boys aid, armed only with a spear, tyrone saves the boy and is rewarded with the knowledge on how to throw spears like lightning. The spears turn out to be arrows and the tribes people have bows. Tyrone has got what he has wanted, but his sister finds love in the tribe and is reluctant to stay. ==

== Response: This book was better than the first because there was a lot more action on every page. There were no parts in the book where I wanted to put the book down, every page you just had to read more. This Author was very clever because each chapter was in another characters perspective, this made the book a lot more interesting. ==

Rating: 9 out of 10
