Introducing Caveboy Dave, new underdog for the Wimpy Kid generation and star of this funny graphic novel series written by bestselling author Aaron Reynolds.

A funny graphic-novel series by Aaron Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of Creepy Carrots!

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. But Dave would much rather invent stuff for a better life—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. 

"Imagine a prehistoric version of Wimpy Kid meets Captain Underpants."
