The Dinosaur Detectives in The Amazon Rainforest
The Dinosaur Detectives #1
by Stephanie Baudet
Follow Matt Sharp and the Dinosaur Detectives as they explore the world and hunt for dinosaur eggs in this action-packed ten-part series. Uncover the secrets that lay hidden in fossils around the globe, and learn all about the lost world of the dinosaurs along the way!
Matt Sharp has a secret talent: if he touches dinosaur eggs, he experiences mysterious visions of the prehistoric world. This is lucky because Matt wants to be a palaeontologist just like his dad. Now that he’s twelve, he’s allowed to join his father on an exciting search for dinosaur eggs in the Amazonian rainforest – too bad his annoying eleven-year-old cousin, Jo, is tagging along. Even worse, it looks like Matt’s dad’s rival is following them! Who will win the race and find the fossils first?
4 out of 5 fairies
Perfect for early chapter book readers who are also dinosaur enthusiasts. Environmental concerns with the Amazon rainforest are mixed in with dinosaur facts throughout the story. Seeing prehistoric times through Matt’s eyes with his special ability was a nice touch. Overall good read.
