Description
Twelve-year-old Daniel Bringham travels back millions of years to the time of dinosaurs--a terrifying journey from which he may never return. Book #2
Quick Summary
Twelve-year-old Daniel finds himself unexpectedly thrust into a prehistoric world when a science experiment goes awry, and he must navigate a landscape teeming with T-rexes, triceratops, and all sorts of dangers while trying to find a way back home. The story balances genuine excitement with a dose of humor Daniel's inner monologue is quick-witted and often sarcastic, making the life-or-death moments feel lighter without losing the tension. Kids who are fans of the "I Survived" series or any middle-grade adventure that mixes history and suspense will likely be hooked, and reluctant readers will appreciate the short chapters and fast-paced plot that keep the pages turning. There are some scary scenes (a close encounter with a Velociraptor pack, a sudden volcanic eruption), but nothing graphic perfect for kids who like a thrill without nightmares. Parents will appreciate the subtle lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the importance of thinking before acting, all woven into the adventure without being preachy. If you're looking for a dinosaur adventure that's as funny as it is thrilling, this one hits the mark.
