Read the full description
Then they hear a big explosion above them - and there are meteors flying through the sky! The meteors slam into the ground and the impact knocks the boys off their feet. All over Dino World there are pockets of smoke and fire in the trees and the dinosaurs begin to emerge from the forests.
Tom and Jamie realize that the dinosaurs were all in hiding - and now they're totally spooked by the weird goings on. The boys see a herd of the elusive Edmontosaurus, and a hundred of the frightened dinosaurs begin to stampede! Tom and Jamie realize they're charging straight towards the biggest meteor crater - if they don't do something to stop them, then they will all fall to their deaths!
But how can two boys stop a whole herd of stampeding dinosaurs?
What every dinosaur-mad child has been waiting for - a young fiction series that really knows its Tyrannosaurus from its Triceratops. The Guardian

Illustrator Mike Spoor grew up in Northumberland and it was during holidays to the Lake District with his grandparents that he first found a love for drawing. After attending Art College and working as a landscape architect Mike trained as a teacher. He moved to Australia and spent his time flying all over the country to run ceramics workshops. Now, after swapping ceramics for illustration, Mike is back in England and has illustrated many hundreds of books. He considers himself a craftsman rather than a ‘serious’ artist because he is best at drawing scratchy unfinished humorous ideas.
