Dinosaur Boy (Dinosaur Boy, 1)
by
by
Over vacation, Sawyer succumbed to his dinosaur DNA and turned into a human dinosaur, complete with plates and tail.
The book is not funny, though the cover led me to believe it would be humorous.
The book is not a social commentary, though there are plenty of opportunities to help students understand prejudice or the difficulty of being different.
It isn't really a strong mystery, though the plot has a mystery with the principal.
It IS implausible...not in a willing-suspension-of-belief kind of hard to believe. Instead, there are many contrivances that do not aid in making a better book.
I rate this 3/5 stars. It's not horrible, but it's not very good either.
