Julie's Reviews > Dinosaur Boy

I read this book as it is a nominee for the Maud Hart Lovelace award this year. It is a fun science fiction story about a boy, Sawyer, who realizes as he prepares to start fifth grade, that he is part dinosaur. He is treated cruelly by many of his classmates, but his new principal is determined to severely discipline any bullies who mistreat Sawyer or anyone else. She takes zero tolerance to a whole new level! The students who are punished mysteriously disappear and Sawyer, along with his friends Elliot and Sylvie, set out to discover the truth of what their new principal is really up to. It's filled with humor and will be a big hit with my students. I look forward to more adventures in book two!
