Pam's Reviews > Dinosaur Boy

In this humorous middle grade book, readers see an alternative world where dinosaur/human hybrids exist though they are rare. The main character's dinosaur characteristics have come out over the summer and now he is returning to school. Sawyer copes with bullying, new friendship, his changing body (could there be a better analogy for puberty than learning to manage the dinosaur part of yourself), and beings from other planets. Together with his two friends, he rescues the bullies from their unusual principal's nefarious plans and comes to some peace with his new body type.
Putman Oakes takes on some serious topics under the fun and humor.
