The KinIt is Africa, 200,000 years ago. The Kin have been driven from the lands where they have lived for many generations. They are the first humans, brave and clever.

Told in four parts, this is the extraordinary story of their epic journey in search of a new life.

"The Kin is a thrilling piece of work. Almost alone among children's writers Dickinson has an appetite for large ideas and the power and skill to bring them to life... he is a writer of great vision." - PHILIP PULLMAN

The Kin was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal.
