Opening sentence
The slow sound of the siren powered up over the school loudspeakers, as warning lights flashed blue, on and off.
This book is for anyone who loves mystery, adventure and dinosaurs.
The book centres around a place called Fern Flats which is surrounded by a cage, except the cage is rusting. Outside the cage lives a family. Spencer is 11, and lives with his older brother and little sister on a farm. They are also living with... wait for it... dinosaurs.
The tale delves in to the effects of children being bullied in their class/school but also the blame game from Fern Flat villagers on Spencer and his family when their village is attacked.
This is a fast-paced and action-packed adventure which is sure to interest and excite young readers. It's an amazing adventure that centres around the juxtaposition between the modern world we know with dinosaurs thrown into the mix!
