Summary: SAD---BUT COUL;D VERY WELL BE TRUE!!!!
Review: This is another of Coldsmith's books that deal with The People. Speaks-Not is a normal child then he is hit with a sickness that leaves him unable to speak or hear. He gets by using hand signs and reading lips.He goes through so much trouble early in the book and also a part of the last of the book. The middle part is good for him. He is renamed Hunts-Alone because he cannot hear others and has to hunt by himself. He is left alone with is Granddaughter, South Wind, and raises her by himself. The book is very good. It is about the people of that time and the hardships they faced. I felt sorry for him and the Granddaughter. The story as told makes you see the things that are going on, in your mind. A book that will make you sad and also make you glad in places. If you like books about the early, very early, tribes you will like this.
