I have just finished reading Boy of the Painted Cave by Justin Denzel, 158 pages. Tao (the main character0 is a boy with a crippled leg and a dream. His dream is to be a cave painter. Volt, Tao's clan leader does not approve of him cave painting or hunting in the Slough with Ram. (Tao's wolf-dog) In the end Tao becomes a cave painter with Graybeards help. Volt finally changes his mind about wolf-dogs. Tao has conflict with Volt.
Volt and Tao have a character vs. character conflict. Volt yells at Tao and punishes him frequently. Tao and Volt disagree about wolf-dogs.
