Outcast

I just finished a book called "Outcast", the fourth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver.  I've reviewed her first book on here before; it's called Wolf Brother.  Here is the link to the review.  "Outcast" begins with a scuffle between Torak and Boar Clan, who believe Torak has stolen antlers belonging to them.  When Torak gets back to the Raven Clan camp, the Boars are already there and demanding a fight.  This is when Torak's Soul-Eater tatto is discovered.  Since the original Soul-Eaters were cast out of their clans, there has been a Clan law stating that anyone else who bears the tattoo shall be cast out as well.  Much to Renn's dismay, Fin-Kedinn follows Clan law.  Torak must now survive in the woods alone, as anyone who tries to help him survive will be hunted down as well.  Can Torak survive and become part of the Clans once more?

I love this series, and I would recommend any of these books.  However, they may be a bit old for some readers.  I would suggest only reading them if you're above 12-13 years old.
