Description
Before 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.

Reviews / Votes
If 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 *More details
