About
Bhòid grasped Sulaire's hand. 'Stay behind me. Whatever happens.' She shook her head, her face a wild mask of red and black in the firelight and stayed where she was. The wolves slipped out of the woods, moving over the snow in a loose pack of shadows...
In Stone-Age Scotland, you don't decide your place in the world. Bhòid and Sulaire are twins, born into servitude within the Beaver Clan. Bhòid burns to earn the right to hunt and prove himself during the yearly wolf guard. His sister Sulaire has always known she'll be a healer, until a fever lames her and takes her certainty with it. Their world has decided their future for them. They are beginning to disagree.
When Bhòid injures the Headman's son while shielding his sister, he must flee to an uninhabited island and face the oncoming winter with nothing but his wits and the courage he isn't sure he has. Sulaire remains behind, facing the clan's anger and fighting to heal the young man's body-and the darkness that lurks within him.
A vivid, immersive journey into a lost world on the island now known as Eilean Bhòid, the Isle of Bute, Scotland.
For anyone who has ever been told what they cannot become.
A Young Adult Historical Fiction perfect for gifted readers. If you're looking for a book like The Clan of the Cave Bear, with a lighter read and less mature themes, Twin Stars is for you. Meticulously researched, this Ancient clan fiction offers both a detailed picture of Stone-Age Scotland and a captivating story.
"Had me on the edge of my seat." Karen Siddall, on GoodReads
"The story grips you from the opening pages." Gina Rae Mitchell on GoodReads
Bhòid and Sulaire, brother and sister, are born as thrall members of the Beaver Clan. How will they become their true selves when hierarchical customs stand in their way? Can Bhòid really become a hunter, a leader in the Bear Tribe? Can Sulaire heal Athru, the Headman's son? How will the twins survive when they are separated from each other?
A great pick for Librarians and Teachers wishing to extend gifted readers, 'Twin Stars' suits both classroom and homeschool curriculums. Built upon complex themes, but without mature content, the novel invites ethical discussions and in-depth literature study, while the stone-age survival story and strong characters allow young readers to delve into a captivating and rigorously researched historical world.
An English teacher with decades of experience, author Charlotte Clutterbuck refuses to dilute language for speed of reading-complex sentence structure meets accessible themes, stretching attention span, comprehension, and reading confidence. Perfect for a Young Adult with advanced reading capabilities, or anyone who enjoys accounts of survival in harsh conditions.
With a deep love of the past reminiscent of Rosemary Sutcliff, this Ancient Civilization Fiction lets readers imagine how people may have lived in a world that left no written records.
Loved by readers of all ages-whether you're a History Buff or looking for an epic fiction read, Twin Stars will hit the spot.
"Twin Stars is the debut novel in Charlotte Clutterbuck's wonderful new middle-grade historical adventure series, The Gannet Quartet, and it is an absolutely brilliant beginning. These two sympathetic, engaging main characters face clan prejudice, jealousy, and danger-insurmountable odds against their survival-and had me on the edge of my seat, glued to the pages. I couldn't help being reminded of Jean M. Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear."
