Biography
Noah has always had quite a comfortable life. His mum Natalie has always worked hard to give him the best life she possibly can; and although their house is very small and money can be tight, he has most of the things he wants: namely, a nice selection of toys and computer games!

Because Noah's mum is a teacher, she is keen on taking him on educational trips. One day in the summer holidays, she took him on a trip to some caves. They had to wear yellow hard hats in case they bumped their heads. Deep underground, they saw some paintings that cave people had done a very long time ago. But he noticed that the paint on one of them was still wet! Following a trail of wet paint, they found a little girl hiding! It was a cave girl!

The girl's name was Kiki. She was lost, so Noah's mum called the police. No one could find Kiki's mum and dad, so they decided that Kiki would stay with Noah and his mum for a while.

Noah was not happy, because Kiki had to sleep in his room, and kept following him everywhere, and kept touching his stuff. She was so annoying! One day, she smashed one of his seashells from the collection on his window sill. Noah was very cross, and made her get out of his bedroom.  But later that day, something came under his door. It was a picture of a seashell. Kiki had made him a picture to say sorry. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.

From that day on, Noah and Kiki became friends, and he didn't mind so much that she followed him around everywhere, because it meant that he had someone to play with. She would join in any of the games he made up, and listened to his stories, even though she didn't understand the words. Noah was glad to have a new sister.
