Boy of the Painted Cave

The book,”Boy of the Painted Cave” by Justin Denzel is 158 pages long. In the book Tao wants to become a Cave Painter, but can’t because of his bad foot. He is not a Chosen One, but at the end he becomes a cave painter. The main characters are Tao, Ram, Volt, and Graybeard.
A conflict in,”Boy of the Painted Cave” is Tao is against his clan because he breaks many taboos. Tao goes to the Slough to get food which he believes is plentiful, but the clan is against it because of the “evil spirits”. Another taboo is Tao hunts with a wolf dog because he believes it brings back more food, but again his tribe is against it. Finally, he draws because he loves to, but his tribe believes it will bring bad hunting and will upset the spirits. Tao starts a huge conflict in this book.
