    After a thirteen-year hiatus, Clare Bell returns with RATHA'S COURAGE, the fifth book in THE NAMED series.

    The story is about a clan of prehistoric cats that are working toward making a civilization. Ratha, the clan leader,
    knows the gift of fire and decides to share it with another, different civilization of the "face-tails", which is a clan of
    mammoth and mastodon hunting cats.

    But her courage to reach out to another group might bring the downfall of her own clan.

    Bell writes an interesting story that takes the reader into another world where cats rule and try to become more
    civilized. The reader goes through the story with Ratha, facing every challenge along with her. This book is an
    excellent addition to THE NAMED series.
