Trex is a 16yo girl living in a post-apocalyptic society. While Trex was exploring she uncovers a ancient artifact that could possibly change the lives of everyone around her. What is the artifact? And what does it do? Her family urges Trex to put the artifact back where she found it, but she feels like it belongs somewhere else... Trex begins a quest to find the "Haven", a safe place to put the artifact back. As she starts to uncover the secrets of the past, she learns about her own identity and why the "Haven" called out to her in the first place. 

Trex by Christyne Morrell is a very whimsical and cute novel, that I grew to appreciate the more I dove deeper into the chapters. It's characters are lovable and relatable. The overall world building and magic of the book could've been described and expounded upon better as it was quite vague. Trex is described as white.
