What if a wimpy kid was born in the Stone Age?

Hi, I'm Helix. I'm twelve years old and the worst caveman-to-be that Rockfall has ever seen. I'm even less cavemanly than my lazy bonehead brother, whose hobby is grooming his nose hair.

It's almost time for my Arrival. I'll be expected to disappear into the woods and return with something big, dangerous or rare - preferably all three. My best friend Ug is preparing for his Arrival too. He has the strength of a hungry rhinovore so he will no doubt bring back something impressive. And our friend Saleeka would pass with flying colours, except girls aren't allowed to take the test - a rule that makes her angrier than a sabre-tooth.

But me? I can't even lift a club above my shoulder. Banishment to the Dark Side, here I come . . .

Industry Reviews

"Hilarious and exciting . . . . I often laughed out loud when reading it." - Matthew, age 11, Random House Book Buddies

"A brilliant book . . . Like the How to Train Your Dragon series and the Rowan of Rin books, it had a nice twist at the end that could be related to some of the world’s problems. Great book for all of the family together and individually." - Ewen, age 12, Random House Book Buddies

"I absolutely loved reading this book. I couldn't put it down! . . . It sort of reminded me of Harry Potter, because of it being very adventurous." - Chloe, age 11, Random House Book Buddies

"A great read for anyone (adults included) as it is full of adventure, intrigue and suspense." - Sophie, age 11, Random House Book Buddies

"This is a great book for anyone who loves reading adventure stories and wants something different." - Nikolas, age 13, Random House Book Buddies
