    Written by Scott Eric Barrett

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Charlie Daniels is more than six feet tall, allergic to almost everything, and has a pet dinosaur at home. His life in Arizona is relatively normal. That is, apart from the nightmares Charlie has… But when his dinosaur, Trike, gets kidnapped by a strange old lady and her cat-like sidekick, Charlie and his misfit friend Arty are sucked into a story bigger than both of them. Risking everything to rescue Trike, Charlie and Arty are flung into the past, landing in the chaos of New York City, 1865. Dodging the mysterious Nasten Cobblestine, and avoiding the perils of New York’s nastiest street cleaners’ strikes, test Charlie’s wits as well as his courage. All he wants to do is reunite with his dinosaur and somehow find a way back home… As Charlie searches for Trike, he draws dangerously close to P.T. Barnum’s eerie museum and the creature that lies within. Will he find Trike and get home alive? And who is the Ice Lady of his nightmares?

      Putting my name on Pinterest ended up closing before I could enter it. It’s Carol Luciano. Sorry. This is a book that would definitely appeal to my grade school grandson. I’d go for the smallest Dinosaur of the species. Would call him Fang.

      I would have a baby triceratops, but when he got too big, I would take him back to the pet store. I would call him “Tooty.”

      A brachiosaur. Definitely need a veggiesaur. I would probably name him something simple like Spot. If a velociraptor was nicer that would be my choice.

      Thank you for the interest and for all the comments! I LOVE that so many adults still have that sense of wonder about dinosaurs that our amazing children have. Triceratops was always my favorite dinosaur growing up so it was easy when I needed to pick one for the story. I look forward to communicating with anyone interested in this tale!

      I would love to be a t-rex named Wilber and he would be friendly and helpful…the worker of the forest helping build everyone’s houses….

      I’d like a sinosauropteryx and I’d name it ummmm. bird? Actually, I have no idea what her name would be. I’d have to sit down with a baby book.

      I am the elementary librarian at a private school in Land O’ Lakes Florida. SOOO many students love dinosaur books. They are fascinated by their size, structure, and always want to know what happened to them. This looks like a book that would be a great addition to our library for our third and fourth grade students. Thanks for the offer to win a copy!
