Ely lives a happy suburban life with his parents and his
dog, Tommy, until disaster strikes. To help cheer Ely up, his parents let him
go visit his grandfather’s farm for the summer. Ely works hard and enjoys his
grandfather’s company but is still sad (and dealing with bullies), until he
discovers a real live Tyrannosaurus Rex living in a cave! Life with a dinosaur
has its share of challenges but is lots of fun for Ely and the townspeople. And
it’s even better when Ely realizes there is something special about this
dinosaur.
Like Cardboard, this
new graphic novel focuses on a unique premise that will be a big hit with young
boys – who wouldn’t want a real dinosaur for a pet? It’s every boy’s
dream! The story is engrossing,
and the pictures are lots of fun. This graphic novel will be especially
appealing to reluctant readers, ages 7 and up.

I will have to get this for my son. It sounds like something he would like. And good for an emerging reader.
