I like this book a little bit because it is a little bit funny and a little bit interesting. It is the best archaeologist book I ever heard or read but at the start it was boring and it came better and better. From looking at the cover you only know one character which is one of the sheep but if you read the blurb you find out who the main character is which is Gareth which is the youngest person in his family and in the book he is about ten years old. Gareth has one brother who is called David and he is around fourteen or fifteen years old and Gareth has one sister who is about at least seventeen years old and she is called Bethan. Gareth lives on a farm with his dad, his mum, his big sister Bethan and his big brother David. David and Bethan don't like Gareth because he is the youngest in the family. David and Bethan always ignore Gareth when he's trying to say something or explain something. Gareth is the main character and he likes digging.
