About this title

Review:

Don't you hate it when a perfectly innocent fossil hunt turns into ... a night in the dinosaur graveyard? This prehistoric adventure story with 10 spooky holograms of dinosaur ghosts is almost guaranteed to fascinate Tyrannosaurus-loving tykes.

The suspense kicks in as soon as Max, Lucy, Professor Sponge (their grandfather), and Soap (the dog) embark on their adventure; "He [Soap] had found a bone--the biggest bone the professor had ever seen. It gave off a strange light." The first night, the intrepid trio camps in a dark, cold cave. Nice choice. Is it any wonder that "The dinosaur ghosts floated above and behind them, glowing and groaning horribly"? They run for their lives and soon begin to rue the day they ever picked up that oddly luminous bone. (Ages 5 to 8)
