Danny and Lin continue their adventures with tiny dinosaurs
in this second book in the microsaur series. After losing a remote-control dune
buggy race to Icky Vicky Van-Varbles, Danny and Lin get a call from Professor
Penrod asking them to receive a package at the Microterium. Shrinking
themselves down to micro size, they open the package to discover a pack of tiny
raptors and an egg. With some help from their other microsaur friends and a few
frozen corn dogs, they try to keep the hungry raptors from eating the
mysterious egg while still making it back that afternoon for their re-match
with Icky Vicky.
While not strong enough to be a stand-alone book, with two
more books scheduled for release in 2018, this would be worthwhile for
libraries that plan to collect the whole series. Libraries that want to add to
their collection of Utah authors might also be interested in this series. Children who like dinosaurs and tinkering with
mechanical cars will most likely be entertained by Danny and Lin’s adventures.
The plot and characters are pretty simple which keeps the grade level probably
at second through fourth, maybe fifth grade.
