The book, Boy of the Painted Cave*, is a 158 page book by Justin Denzil about a boy named Tao. He is the age of 14 and has a bad foot. He meets many people such as Greybeard and Ram (an animal). He always wanted to be a cave painter but he can't because he wasn't a chosen one or born of a leader. This is solved when Tao becomes shaman because Greybeard passed the privilege to him before he died. Because of this, Tao is allowed to paint in the secret cave.
A setting that is important to the story would have to be the slough. If they didn't have the slough as a setting, Tao wouldn't of been able to go back to his clan. This is because when he first hunted in the slough, he caught a rabbit. Volt told Tao he could not come back until he caught the rabbit. Also, he wouldn't of met Greybeard if he didn't go into the slough. he was watching the Giant Deer and Greybeard happened to see Tao. This is why the slough is an important setting to the story.
