About This Book
The ground rumbles beneath your feet, and the sharp scent of wild animals fills the air. Cam’s fists pound the earth as he roars like a real caveman, chasing shadows and smashing through the day. But when a saber-tooth cat appears, will Cam’s wild ways be enough to face the challenge?
