Illustrated by
Phil McAndrew.
In this goofy graphic novel, Caveboy Dave and his cohort have reached their coming-of-age as hunters, but Dave has more ideas for inventions than he has muscles. Scatological humor and STEM concepts abound, and the kids achieve success--their way. The characters are familiar (the wimp, the overachieving girl, the golden boy), but entertaining dialogue and skillful illustrations keep the book feeling fresh.
