Great Book
18 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
I read this book at school and love it. It explains Dinotopia so you don't have to have read "Dinotopia a Land Apart From Time" to understand the story. If you want to read the children's series I recomend that you read this book first. I particualy like how it is about Skybaxes ( a tipe of flying dinosaur that can be rode on by humans). I have read two other books in the series and this is by far the best one. This is a must have for both people who have read other Dinotopia books or have never read a Dinotopia book.

I loved it!
3 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
I'm not even into dinos, but I loved this book. It has a great plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat with the book glued in your hands. Raymond and Hugh land on Dinotopia, meet some neat characters, and then proceed to learn many valuable lessons. Hugh needs to learn to fit in, and Raymond wants desperately to help an injured dino named Windchaser. How will they accomplish these feats? Read the first Dinotopia book to find out!

An excellent addition to the Dinotopia line!
1 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
Like all good spinoffs, this book adds yet another layer to the Dinotopia story. I found "Windchaser" somewhat more mature in tone than several of the other series books, in that it touches on the serious subjects of death and bereavement, unfortunately found in Dinotopia as elsewhere. This added dimension made for a much richer and emotionally involving story than those books with simpler "teen has a problem and eventually solves it" plots. Of all the Dinotopia series writers I've read to date, Scott Ciencin exhibits the best combination of character and story development with uniquely creative situations. Any Dinotopia fan will of course enjoy this book, and I'd also recommend it as a 'plain good read' to anyone not yet familiar with this fascinating series.
