What is Midsummer mayhem about?

Dug is fascinated by the midsummer sun and wants to discover exactly how it moves across the sky. With sticks, heavy stones and a team of oxen, he sets out to build a clever way of tracking it. But Dug’s plan soon causes trouble, and he must think quickly to put things right. Set in the Bronze Age, this lively adventure follows Dug and his family through five short chapters, with extra facts about Bronze Age life at the end.
