When I first saw this book, I thought it was your average, run of the mill, prehistoric fiction book. But when I finished it, I knew that this was a book that I would reread over and over again! In this book, Caveboy Dave, dreams to be a big time engineer. But when he and his friends are thrown into the wild, expected to kill 6 deadly beasts, he is hesitant to go. Will he come back victorious? Or will he suffer dreaded defeat? You'll have to read to find out! I would definitely recommend this book to a friend who loves engineering, or one who just loves a good laugh. This was a book I loved, and I'm sure you'll love it too!

A funny graphic-novel series by New York Times bestselling author Aaron Reynolds!
His grandpa invented fire. His dad invented the wheel. How will Caveboy Dave leave his mark?
Dave Unga-Bunga has always been more scrawny than brawny. This is a major problem when your village expects you to become a meat-bringer. At age twelve, all young cave-people must stalk through the eerie mushroom forests for a prehistoric beast the village can feast on. Dave would much rather invent stuff for a better life, though—like underwear to make loincloths less itchy and cutlery to make eating less filthy. Can Dave save his group by inventing the perfect defense against a bloodthirsty pokeyhorn? Or will he MEET HIS DOOM?
First in a new series, More Scrawny Than Brawny delivers irresistible characters, big thrills, and even bigger laughs.

cool
I give it one star because you could't see the words. And my ather reson is I don't like cave man.
So what because you dont like cavemen why did you read it Awesome Kid 3d
I liked the book(I LOVE graphic novels) It was a nice book. I would rate it 5 stars.
I just started this book! The illustrations are so creative.
Dave's grandfather invented fire, and his father invented the wheel. Dave is on a quest to invent something really great, too. But along the way he discovers challenges and perils of pre-historic times, like animals that want to have him for lunch. This book is written in the style of a comic book -- several "squares" with text and illustrations on each page. The illustrations are clever and there is pre-historic humor throughout the book. Mostly, it deals with the issues of inventions and possibilities in life.
Interesting very interesting is a little weird but book is ok
That sounds cool! I think the author was very creative to have someone who has a family member who invented fire and the wheel!
