Lucy & Andy Neanderthal: The Stone Cold Age

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Jedi Academy books comes book two in the laugh-out-loud graphic novel series about Neanderthal siblings Lucy and Andy. Fans of the Big Nate, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Terrible Two series won't want to miss it! Now available in paperback!

Every day is a snow day for Lucy & Andy! But life in the Ice Age isn't all fun and games. These Neanderthal siblings are back to their paleo pranks, and they have to put up with more than just each other--the cave is feeling awfully cramped since the humans moved in. It's the Ice Age, and legroom comes at a real premium!

Jeffrey Brown skillfully blends humor and history with paleontologist sections: Timeline of Key Discoveries, Ice Age Fact vs. Fiction, Silly Cavemen Myths, and more.

"Lucy & Andy are Stone Age rock stars! I loved this book!" --Lincoln Peirce, author of the Big Nate series

"A fast, funny read." --Kirkus Reviews
