The Dinoteks: Giants Awake!
by N.S. Blackman
Description
A T-Rex in town? Raptors in the garden? ....Impossible!
That's what Marlin Maxton thinks, until a visit to a museum where he finds a forgotten room with an old display of life-sized dinosaur models. To his astonishment and delight, his interest in the models sparks them into life! But these are more than dinosaurs, these are Dinoteks: metallic model dinosaurs. They are as awesome as their prehistoric predecessors – and able to talk, feel and work together to face danger. Best of all they befriend Marlin and together boy and dinosaurs embark on a series of thrilling adventures. The first is to escape from their predators – hunting humans who believe these animals are a menace that should be destroyed.
Combining action-adventure with magic and humour, independent readers and those moving on from beginner reader books will love the exciting stories and detailed illustrations that together bring the Dinoteks to life. The first in a series of three books.
