Karen Arendt's Reviews > Dinosaur Boy

At first i was put off by Sawyer suddenly developing stegosaurus plates and tail, but then the explanation came quickly and I bough into it, even it is as far fetched a extra terrestrials. What kept me reading was the bullying story. What Sawyer experiences because he is different was sad, but so within the realm of children. His desire to be "normal" and his mother's comment that he was fine with his stegosaurus parts until he started fifth grade really hit home about how we view other people viewing us.

I also enjoyed the plot with the principal who as first seems to take care of Sawyer with the zero tolerance policy of bullying, but she has her own evil intentions too. The story wrapped up with some clever twists that make readers eager for the next book.
