Danny and Lin are
shocked when they discover a tiny dinosaur at Lin's skateboarding tryouts.
Lin's GPS monitor is stolen that she uses to track her stunts! As the two
friends follow the signal trying to find it, they actually find themselves
discovering so much more than they could have imagined. Along the way, they end
up reduced down to the size of an ant. A whole world they didn't know existed
of microdinosaurs opens before them. What a crazy adventure filled with twists
and turns! They need to figure out a way to restore their original size and get
Lin back to her competition.
This story melds fantasy and reality in a
fascinating way. These two friend find and explore a dinosaur world that
readers will find entertaining. While there are great illustrations on most
every page to keep reader's attention, parts of the plot are a little flat and
lack necessary details to keep the story moving.
