Illustrated by
Milan Pavlovic.
Ten-year-old Beverly tries to keep her friend Kabungo, also ten, out of trouble--no easy feat, as Kabungo is an unruly cavegirl who lives in a cave on Main Street. This premise may seem absurd, but the offbeat, episodic novel is surprisingly charming. Rolli uses distinctive language and familiar events to create gentle humor and misunderstandings. Grayscale illustrations show the girls having fun.
