Book description
It's the summer of 1988 and 15-year-old aspiring artist Adam Zapotica
has a big problem. He's crazy about dinosaurs, and a team of
paleontologists and scientists at Milk River Ridge near
Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta has recently
unearthed a major cache of dinosaur eggs. They need volunteers to
assist them at the dig, but there's a catch -- you have to be 18!
Adam soon figures a way to get around that, and faster than a raptor
the Calgary youth finds himself part of the dinosaur crew and
knee-deep in intrigue and romance, especially after he meets Jamie,
the teenaged daughter of the camp's boss.
Someone is stealing fossils, and the suspects are almost as numerous
as the dinosaur experts toiling amid the hoodoos and coulees. Adam and
Jamie are determined to get to the bottom of the pilfering, but
dinosaurs are big business and the danger could be deadly.
Marion Woodson is the author of several young adult novels and
lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia
