Dinosaur Land is a heartfelt and imaginative middle-grade novel that takes readers on a memorable journey through the eyes of twelve-year-old Tommy, a quick-witted and street-smart foster child. Tommy’s life, marked by instability and the challenges of foster care, begins to shift dramatically when he is placed with an eccentric new foster parent he affectionately calls “Grandpa.” From the moment Tommy arrives, it’s clear this new home is unlike any other — guarded by a life-sized dinosaur statue on the lawn and filled with daily surprises like dinners served as “mud pies.”
