Your Mother Was a Neanderthal
Illustrated by Lane Smith
Being the latest instalment in the adventures of 'The Time Warp Trio' -American schoolkids who can transport themselves through time with the aid of the book. Here they visit the Stone Age, intending to impress the natives, and end up interceding in prehistorical gender strife after near-lethal encounters with mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers. If you or your children are new to these stories, you'll probably enjoy the relentless cliff-hanging and smart repartee of this adventure. I certainly did - though I detect a slightly formulaic note creeping in.
