Description
The terrifying Wîhtikow Rex takes centre stage in this exciting second book in the Lukas Encounters series. The mysterious creature-a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that Lukas and his cousin KC accidentally bring to life-is described in Cree mythology as a ravening monster that grows as it consumes its victims.
The adventures begin when Lukas and KC meet paleontologist Mekwen Calf Robe at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. From Mekwen they learn that Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park is not far from the Johnson family farm where KC lives. She agrees to show them various rock formations and maybe even some dinosaur fossils at the park. But as Lukas and KC begin exploring the park on their own, they stray into areas Mekwen warned them to avoid, and before you can say "Tyrannosaurus rex," a menace as old as time is nipping at their heels!
