Description
Book SynopsisBefore there were dragons, there were dinosaurs...
Imagine a world in which the dinosaurs weren't killed by a meteor hitting the earth. A world in which dinosaurs have learned to speak. To dream. To wage war.
Eleri is an oryctodromeus, a small dinosaur raised in an underground warren. He dreams of becoming his herd’s storyteller but when he saves an enemy soldier from a pterosaur attack, he is exiled to the Deadlands. To survive this scorched desert full of carnivores, he joins a herd of other young exiles, including a peppy stegosaur, a stoic sauropod, an irritable triceratops … and a mysterious spy. Can five young misfits save their warring kingdoms?
Includes bonus content: a map and extra dinosaur facts.
Perfect for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, How to Train Your Dragon and Percy Jackson.
Trade ReviewIf you love dinosaurs and adventure, this is the perfect book for you! * The Phoenix Comic *
A gruesome, absorbing adventure about trust, courage and manipulation. * BookTrust *
An entertaining and gripping story that will rekindle the reader’s interest in the age of dinosaurs. * The School Librarian *
Skillfully written, packed with adventure and surprising in its depth, this is a book which deserves a place in the primary (or even secondary) school library. It could stimulate discussion around honour, peace-making and the integrity of leaders in the classroom; but I suspect that it will mostly be enjoyed for the simple pleasure of a good read. * Reading Zone *
Action packed adventure story. * the Bookseller *
