When Jamie moves to Dinosaur Cove with his father he's looking forward to doing some fossil hunting on the beach. But when he and his friend, Tom, discover a forgotten cave with fossilised dinosaur footprints, it takes them to another world . . . a world of dinosaurs. In this secret place the boys meet a small, friendly Wannanosaurus, who leads them further into the prehistoric landscape, past mysterious fungi and strange fruits (which smell like sick!). But when the ground starts to shudder and the Wannanosaurus runs off at lightning speed, the boys know they're in serious danger. The Tyrannosaurus Rex has spotted them and he's coming their way . . . Can the boys outwit the T-Rex? Will they be able to find their way back to the cave? And can they make it to their own world before the tide comes in?

I bought this book on the off chance that my 7 year old son who generally prefers non fiction, may take up reading stories for a change. WOW...he read it in one evening, it had him so captured. A great adventure with lovely detailed drawings and great words such as THWACK! every so often.
We are now on a new adventure and looking forward to many more...
Would recommend for any confident readers who love dinosaurs.The text is an easy to read size and the drawings simply add to the excitement of the tales.

I came across this book while ordering more astrosaur titles for my son, the only non fiction books he read at the time. He loved it immediately and finished this and the next title in two days. He can't get enough now!
I like the style and am reminded a little of the old Enid Blyton books with the five friends. My son feels drawn in by the storyline and imagines himself in the heroes' shoes. It's been our discovery of the summer!

Do all boys go through a dinosaur phase? Experience tells me they do, and so this author is on to a winner. My 5 year old was desperate to read a 'series' of books... his sister reads the Famous Five and big brother reads Falco, but suitable titles can be hard to find for an emergent reader. These are great, featuring the same characters (2 eight year old boys and their dog like dinosaur accomplice) in the same setting, but with different dinosaurs.
My little son loves them, and can read a lot of the books himself, although I read them with him as they can have some tricky vocabulary.
They are also really informative; I feel my dino knowledge has increased greatly!
