Jokes and puns, tribes and catapults, abound and will appeal to young readers' Sophie Smiley, School Librarian 'The hilarious tale whistles along like a stone from Iggy's newly invented clutterpult, and will have readers on the edge of their stone seats ... Beech's pen and ink cartoons, with their Blake-like spontaneity, are a perfect accompaniment to the lively text' Inis magazine 'This hilarious tale whistles along like a stone from Iggy's clutterpult ...

Product Description
Iggy is different from the rest of his tribe. He isn't interested in the usual things such as hunting or boulder-rolling. He's always daubing on the walls of his cave or coming up with infuriating new ideas. But tomorrow is the Sons of Urk ceremony, when boys are accepted into the tribe as Hunters. Iggy is eager to take part, but he'll have to pass the initiation, which means facing his biggest fear: snakes!
