Summary

"The Wonder Stick" by Stanton A. (Stanton Arthur) Coblentz is a story that throws us back to prehistoric times, where we follow Ru as he deals with life in his tribe and a big disagreement with Grumgra, the chief. Imagine a world of tough survival, bravery, and wanting to fit in when everyone around you is strong and the rules are harsh. Ru comes back from a trip to face anger and blame for something that went wrong when the tribe moved. These prehistoric people, living in a tough place called Umbaddu, have strong bodies and follow old customs. The story starts by showing us how Ru feels inside, how he wants to prove he is worthy. All this begins during the conflict between Ru and Grumgra hinting that Ru will change.
