Quentin and the Cave Boy
A Comic Novel for Ages 10 and Up
Book Description
The STONE Age meets the TEEN age in this comedic "Encino Man" set in middle school.
Quentin Moss is an average 13-year-old boy with an anything-but-average problem: the cave boy he dreamed about last night has shown up, alive and smelly, in his bedroom. As past and present collide with comic consequences, Quentin must hide the secret identity of his new friend who is fascinated by zippers and loves to flush the toilet—over and over again.
Before the day is over, Quentin and his best friend, Buzz, have to find a way to help the homesick cave boy get back to his home—thousands of years in the past. But first they have to get through the school day, where they attempt to pass Moss off as a cousin from California and try to impress girls to disastrous results. Then there’s Quentin’s big sister and his over-protective mom, not to mention literally running smack-dab into real-live robbers! Throughout their adventure, both Quentin and his prehistoric guest learn not only to appreciate each other, but also their own place and time in history.
Quentin may not be the cutest, smartest guy in school, but the way he deals with the greatest adventure of his life to date will have readers of all ages laughing out loud.
