Booklist - 07/01/2017 In the continuing adventures of Neanderthal siblings Lucy and Andy, their family is joined by a group of early humans, and as the cold weather sets in, the two groups struggle to comfortably live together in a too-small cave. While Lucy easily makes friends with the new kids, Andy’s feeling chaffed by the close quarters, and he’s eager to help the humans find a new cave to live in, though his reasons are far from altruistic. In between Brown’s spot-on depiction of kid jealousies, braggadocio, and bravery among the kids from both groups, a pair of paleontologists appears to offer scientific background on what life might have been like 40,000 years ago and how scientists have made those discoveries. The fictional narrative provides a nice framework for the background context, and the tone of the paleontologists’ lesson is lighthearted and sometimes silly. Brown’s cartoonish figures, rendered in pleasantly jittery lines, are full of character, and his comedic timing shines in his panel layouts. For fans of the series opener or kids who like learning about prehistoric eras. - Copyright 2017 Booklist.
