A hilarious middle-grade novel about a misunderstood caveboy perfect for fans of Ice Age and Happy Feet.Lug is a caveboy who would rather paint than club other caveboys. The clan even mocks him, calling him "Little Slug." Like all the other caveboys, Lug must enter the contest to become the clan''s next Big Man and attempt to catch the Biggest Beast—even though he would much rather spend his days painting in his secret art cave. When Lug is banished for failing to catch a jungle llama, he thinks he is alone in the world but finds others who believe in him: his clanmate Stony, and a new friend, Echo, a girl from a rival clan who can talk to animals and just may be prehistory''s first vegetarian/animal rights activist. Together they face even bigger challenges—Lug discovers the Ice Age is coming and he has to bring the warring clans together to save them not only from the freeze but also from a particularly unpleasant migrating pride of saber-toothed tigers. It''s no help that the elders are cavemen who can''t seem to get the concept of climate change through their thick skulls. With funny, anachronistic humor and charming characters, Lug, Dawn of the Ice Age is sure to be a hit with many readers.

After saving his clan from saber-toothed tigers, Lug the caveboy has become a hero. The only problem: between the nightmares and his sudden skittishness around animals, he doesn''t feel like much of a hero. But now he and his friends, Stony and Echo, have even bigger problems. A giant glacier is rolling toward their village—faster than any ordinary mass of ice should move—and it''s on course to crush the whole settlement! Maybe Blast, the mysterious northern boy who lives on the glacier, can help Lug''s clan. Or maybe it will be up to Lug to save the day again, whether he''s ready to or not.
