Boy of the painted cave, by Justin Denzel consists of 158 pages. The main character is Tao. He is very artistic. Tao draws until he is satisfied, and doesn't stop until he is. He meets an old man named Graybeard, he teaches Tao how to cave paint. He also has someone who doesn't care for him as much, Volt. Volt is extremely superstitious. In the end, When Graybeard dies, Tao becomes a real cave painter, so he paints for all the clans.
Tao is a key character. Without him, Graybeard would be forced to pick someone else. Ram would die of starvation, and the book would have no main conflict. Unfortunately, painting without permission of the tribes is against their laws. One could even be killed if caught! the book's main conflict is Tao vs. society. There are many other conflicts, too. You should read this book.
