Lucy and Sasha decide that they are going to
create a club that discovers new things around them.
While out looking they find dinosaur bones and some other
Neanderthals. The other clan of
Neanderthals keep cropping up throughout the book and are not very nice, eventually they try to steal from the family’s cave. All the kids ban together to set up traps to
discourage the outsiders from being in their cave.
Throughout the book there are two scientists
who comment on what happens in each chapter, explaining the facts from the
chapter and other interesting tidbits, which I totally enjoyed.
The illustrations are in black and white, and I wish they were in color
because my boys aren’t pulled in by the drawings but would love the story if
they would just give it a chance.
Overall, it’s a creative story with funny story lines and interesting
information.
