With no one to tell them what to do or how to think, the village panics and elects Dave as their new leader. If Dave can't find Shaman Faboo and bring him back (alive), he'll be doomed to a life of boredom and something much public service!

Hannes Hunebed is terug! Ditmaal wordt hij sjamaan van zijn dorp, probeert hij de oude sjamaan van zijn dorp te redden, hij vindt weer genoeg uit, en meer.
Ik was superblij dat ik dit boek in de bibliotheek zag, ik had al een tijdje gehoopt op een nieuwe Hannes Hunebed want ik vond de vorige zo leuk!
Ik moet zeggen dat ik Hannes wel een tikje té vervelend vond. De macht over het dorp is echt naar zijn bol gestegen en ik had af en toe echt zin om hem in de geisers te gooien die niet erg ver van zijn dorp lagen. Gelukkig was ik niet de enige, en gelukkig kreeg Hannes zijn verstand weer terug. En hij bedenkt ook bergen leuke nieuwe uitvindingen al zo ik sommige nou nooit proberen (modderijs??? EWW), maar andere zou ik met liefde proberen zoals die bladervleugels die inklapbaar zijn.
Leuk dat we wat meer over Keija leren en ook over haar ouders. Hopelijk pakt Keija toch weer het houtsnijden op, ze lijkt er erg goed in te zijn al heeft ze het jaren niet meer gedaan.
Het plot zelf was ook erg leuk om te lezen want we ontmoeten een nieuwe stam die niet ver weg woont van waar Hannes' dorp is, er is eindelijk een mogelijkheid om die gevaarlijke geiserveld over te steken (dankzij Hannes), en dan is er nog een zekere connectie tussen hun sjamaan en die van Hannes' dorp (en moest ik tussen helemaal lachen om het einde, arme Hannes). Er zijn veel hilarische en spannende stukjes en je zult je echt niet vervelen terwijl je deze graphic novel leest. En dat einde, ik lag dubbel.
Ik vind het nog steeds grappig dat je naast gewone mensen ook nog een paar hebt die duidelijk iets anders zijn (meer Neanderthaler) zoals die grote sterk vrouw en die gymmeester.
Ik blijf de art erg leuk vinden het past er gewoon erg goed bij.
Ik kan zeker niet wachten om te zien wat Hannes in het volgende boek gaat beleven.

My students can’t seem to get enough graphic novels so I was glad to read one from a new series. But Caveboy Dave seems to drag on with the cavepeople just doing and saying ignorant things again and again. This type of humor will certainly appeal to many readers of the genre, but I prefer to purchase books with clear plot lines and at least some solid character development, no matter what the genre. Thanks for the dARC, Edelweiss.

I knew I definitely wanted to read this after my raving review of the first book, here.
STORY:
Wow, Dave is a brat in this book (it almost feels a bit out of character considering how meek he was in book one, but I suppose he was under a lot of pressure then), but I would be lying if I said it wasn’t entertaining. On the downside, I’m a little tired of the “boy doesn’t listen to smart girl due to stubbornness” story trope. That’s not a slight on the story though that’s just me.
Thankfully, this second book is less gross than the first but still light-hearted and funny with tender moments.
CHARACTERS:
A round of applause for dumb characters in kids’ media that actually contribute something meaningful to conversations without being annoying and still manage to be goofy. Now, if only sitcoms could learn how to balance this. I’m looking at you, Disney and Nickelodeon shows!
ART:
As always, the art walks a thin line of grotesque and Sunday morning comics' cute. There's a nice palette of earthy colors and then an entire section of cool blues that pleasing to see.
OVERALL:
Yes, I definitely recommend this, and I can’t wait for more in this series. Dave’s little caveman stories are fun and (while I don’t think every children’s story needs to teach a moral/have meaning) teaches good values without being preachy. Hopefully, this is a more subtle way for kids to learn without parental nagging.
“Of course, there were still eight hours of daylight left … Plenty of time to go extinct before bedtime.”

It's a really good book. Clunk is really silly. There is a big mystery in it about Shaman Faboo missing. They think that another village took him. (SPOILER!) But actually... he just went fishing! The main character is Dave. They actually get passed the Field of Screams. (It's a Field of Death). Plus when Ug has a plan to shoo some Rippy Beaks, Dave's the bait !!!!!! (review by A., age 7)

This book was good! It talks about how sometimes you think things can be easy but once you do the thing it ends up being hard. I recommend this book to anyone who likes books with characters that act dumb!

This is hands down one of the funniest graphic novels I've read in a while. I loved it! This will really appeal to fans of Dav Pilkey's Captian Underpants. I can see why so many have been eagerly awaiting for it's release. Besides, I'm always happy to support a local author!

Good clean fun
I like most comics~er, I mean graphic novels and Cave boy Dave is delightful. I am an old gramma but I imagine folks of all ages would like Dave and his fellow villagers!

Took me a few pages to get into, but then I really enjoyed it. The humour is pretty basic, but that isn’t a bad thing in this case. It fit the story very well.

Great continuation to the series. My only issue here was the long stretch of monochromatic scenes which are a little taxing on the reader.
