"The last surviving dinosaur kingdoms are waging 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? Perfect for fans of Jurassic Park, Skandar and the Unicorn Thief and Dragon Mountain."

Helen's Thoughts

I wasn't sure I'd like a book with speaking dinosaurs as protagonists but I soon got caught up in the characters and their adventures.

A great read for lovers of dinosaurs and lovers of adventure.
