Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

FOUR SMALL STONES (book 1)

Billy’s gotta find some girls, or he and his brothers face extinction, the last of their kind living a Stone Age life in the Australian bush. The spirits choose Billy to see what he can find in the big city. But he’s never even seen a girl before and all he’s got to wear is a loincloth. His dad wants a fat one to keep him warm in winter and his oldest brother Mallee, wants six! No one knows what Pindaari wants.

Before he goes he must pull off the impossible and earn his brother’s respect, outsmarting them at their own game with a stinking dead kangaroo, a flooded cave crawling with bats and a quartz crystal.

Could life get any more difficult? Why yes it could, Billy could fall in love…

“AWESOME!!!” Andrew, UK

“I was cracking up laughing. It’s really good.” Kris M, Australia

“So fun guys I highly recommend it.” Nancy Y, USA

URBAN HUNTERS is laugh–out–loud, gut–churning, heart–wrenching storytelling at its best. Unlike anything you’ve ever read, in typical Taaffe fashion. Hilarious as usual. Always surprising. Wonderful!

Mana recenzija/My review

Aborigēnu puika Billijs ik pa laikam tiek izjokots un iznests no vecāko brāļu, Pindara un Malija(Pindaari and Mallee) puses, tāpēc nolemj beidzot pielikt treknu punktu ar kārtīgu atmaksas triku.

Pirmās nodaļas tādas nopietnākas, iepazīstinot ar tēliem un arī drusku par aborigēnu un balto cilvēku savstarpējām attiecībām. Billijs uzaudzis bez mātes, jo dzemdībās mirusi, un tuvākās attiecības bez brāļiem un tēva šķiet ir ar vectēvu Kobaru, kas arī iepazīstina ar senču zināšanām. Bet arī pašai ciltij nav bijuši viegli laiki, kad, ņemot vērā skaitu, varētu tikt dēvēti drīzāk par klanu.

Bet noslēdzošās nodaļas vienos smieklos; kārtīgs ROFL un vienkārši super! : )

                                                                                                                                                

Aborigine boy Billy from time to time gets tricked by his older brother Pindaari and Mallee, so he decides that it’s time for good payback and a prank of his own.

The first chapters where more serious introducing characters and also telling about historical relationships between aborigines and white people. Billy grew up without his mother because she died giving birth, and besides his brothers and father the closest relationship he has with his grandfather Cobar who introduces him with ancestral customs and knowledge. But it hasn’t been easy for the tribe either when there has been times when they could be called a clan because of how many they were.

But the concluding chapters were hilarious and purely awesome! : )
