Description

When Liam is accidentally sent to 65 million years BC, he finds himself in the hunting ground of dinosaurs. Liam must prevent the world being taken over by a new reality and ensure the timeline is intact.

Quick Summary

If your kid loves dinosaurs or time travel, this one hits both buttons hard. Liam gets thrown back 65 million years and has to survive among actual dinosaurs while trying to fix a broken timeline it's basically every adventure fantasy kids have had, written out for them. The action scenes are intense but not gory, with some genuinely tense moments that make you turn pages fast. Scarrow writes in a way that feels like a movie playing in your head, which makes this a great pick for reluctant readers who need something that grabs them quickly. Parents will appreciate that there's real heart underneath the adventure Liam's friendships and loyalty to his team drive the plot as much as the dinosaurs do. It's perfect for kids who liked the first TimeRiders book or anyone who ever wished they could see a T. rex up close (from a very safe distance).
