Product Description

Product Description

Teggs Stegosaur is a brand new pupil at the Astrosaur Academyy where all astro-cadets go to complete their training. He hopes to become an ASTROSAUR one day but for now he has classes to attend, missions to complete and lessons to learn. His new best friends and roommates, Blink and Dutch, are always his first choice for fun - but also to work with on his homework! Together they make a great team - the Daring Dinos! Teggs and his friends are going to be the youngest contestants in the Megasaur challenge! Robot-Boxing, Rock Tennis and Weight Lifting mean the Daring Dinos can show that they really are the best, strongest and bravest Astro-cadets. But the Megasaur challenge turns out to be mega-unlucky and lots of contestants keep getting 'accidentally' hurt. Will Teggs and his friends be hurt too? Or will they discover who's behind all the problems at the contest before it's too late?


From the Back Cover

Extreme sports can make a dino-sore!

Young Teggs Stegosaur is a pupil at ASTROSAURS ACADEMY - where dinosuars train to be ASTROSAURS. With his best friends Blink and Dutch beside him, amazing adventures and far-out fun are never far away!

Teggs and his fellow astro-cadets can't wait to compete in a brand new sports tournament on the Academy's doorstep - the Megasaur challenge! But when several athletes are injured in a number of nutty "accidents", the contest is plunged into chaos. Suspecting foul play, Teggs investigates. But will he survive long enough to learn the terrifying truth?

From the bestselling author of Astrosaurs and Cows in Action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seventh book in the excellent Astrosaurs series for preteen boys, 15 Nov 2006
By Keith Joseph (West Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Astrosaurs: Day of the Dino-droids (Paperback)
My son (10) isn't very good at reading, so I read these Astrosaurs books to him at bedtime. He has really enjoyed them and so we have bought all of the series (8 books at present with more to come in 2007) to encourage him to like books as much as his Playstation 2, TV and DVD's. Most books we have are shared with his 12 year old sister, so he appreciated a good book aimed at young boys. I would say these books are his most treasured, and he really looks forward to reading a chapter or two each night - my daughter (12) has shown no interest - she's probably too old and a girl. The sci-fi stories are quite good (we are Dr Who, New Captain Scarlet & Dan Dare fans) and you get the boys favourite (dinosaurs) thrown in as well. The series follows the space adventures of a troupe of vegetarian dinosaurs (they escaped the meteor hit 50 million years ago by leaving Earth in spaceships).

This book is the seventh of the series, and involves Capt. Teggs, Arx, Gipsey and Iggy of the Starship DSS Sauropod leaving on a perilous mission to find Admiral Rosso, a crusty old Barosaurus and the leader of the Dinosaur Space Service, who has gone missing while on a holiday trip to the planet Trimuda.

The books are best read in order. My son says 'Like the other books it was cool, I liked the characters and the pictures. I also liked the cut-out cards at the front'. I would think the books would suit any pre-teen boy older than four, who appreciates space travel. I also enjoyed reading them out loud, and I think the quality of the science fiction stories is actually improving with each new book. They also have lots of good line drawn illustrations, typically two per page. There are surprisingly few good books aimed squarely at young boys about, so highly recommended. Also try 'The tentacled terror' plus the 'Horrid Henry', 'Seriously silly stories', and the 'Captain Underpants' series of books - and don't forget the eighth Astrosaurs book 'The terror bird trap'

5.0 out of 5 stars seven year old twins from Glasgow, 26 Nov 2006
By K. Hussain (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Astrosaurs: Day of the Dino-droids (Paperback)
We love Astrosaurs. We have all of them, we enjoy collecting the cards and we can't wait for the new ones to come out.

The books are funny and exciting. They have cool baddies and great heroes.

The Astosaurs are dinosaurs in space that have adventures.
