Don’t Disturb the Dinosaurs Chapter 1 Blast to the Past
Fwoosh. A hot breeze rustled through the jungle tree leaves.
Screech! A wild animal’s cry echoed in the distance.
Rummmmmble.
“What was that?” Laura Reyes whispered nervously.
“That was my stomach,” said Cesar Garcia Moreno. “I should have eaten a bigger breakfast.”
The friends rolled their eyes. But another wild animal cry rang out, and Laura, Cesar, Gabriel Martinez, and Stego the Stegosaurus huddled closer together.
“Guys,” said Gabriel, “I do not think we are in Newtonburg anymore.”
Gabe was definitely right. These three whiz kids, known as the DATA Set, were indeed no longer in their home town of Newtonburg. The question was, where were they?
“Okay, let’s retrace our steps from the beginning,” said Laura. “Dr. B.’s growth ray accidentally brought our toy animals to life.”
“Then they started growing,” continued Cesar.
“And we had to sneak them into the zoo,” remembered Gabe. “Except for Stego.”
“Yeah,” Cesar chimed in. “Dr. B. was going to use his time machine to send Stego back in time.”
“Then what happened?” Laura asked. “Where are we?”
“Dr. B. happened,” Gabe said. “I’ll bet his time machine must have malfunctioned just like the growth ray did. He accidentally sent us to a rain forest.”
“I’ve read lots of books on rain forests,” said Cesar. “And none of them had one of those. . . .”
He pointed overhead.
Soaring high above them was an enormous creature with a brightly colored head crest. It had leathery wings that stretched wide and a narrow, razor-sharp beak.
“Please tell me that’s a bird,” Laura said in disbelief.
“Not unless it was hit by Dr. Bunsen’s growth ray too,” said Cesar. “There aren’t any birds that large that can fly.”
“It’s not a bird,” Gabriel said. His eyes suddenly shone brightly, and a huge grin crossed his face. “It’s a Pterosaur!”
“A what?” Laura asked.
“Dr. B.’s invention worked.” Gabe breathed. “He sent us back with Stego to the Jurassic period. DATA Set . . . we’re in the time of the dinosaurs!”
