A perfect, illustrated, easy-to-read novel for eager young dinosaur fanatics. "As a great adventure story and scientific tour of the Cretaceous world, Weet keeps the reader enthralled to the end." The Log. Somewhere in the badlands of southern Alberta lies the gateway to an alien world of adventure. Welcome to Weet's world-a world of 66 million years ago when dinosaurs ruled. A world that Eric has only dreamed of. A world into which the twelve-year-old dinosaur expert, his seven-year-old sister, Rose, and their dog, Sally, are suddenly and mysteriously transported. Eric soon finds out that fossilized dinosaur bones don't tell the whole story-dinosaurs have developed intelligence! One of them, Weet, befriends the time travellers as they find themselves embroiled in a series of distinctly prehistoric adventures. Will Eric, Rose and Sally ever be able to return to their own world before the disaster that Eric knows is looming over Weet's world strikes? The Dinosaur Chronicles are updated reworkings of the bestselling Weet Trilogy originally published in the '90s. "John Wilson has created an entirely believable world, complete with lush vegetation…and the exotic animal life we expect the time of the dinosaurs. The twist he throws in with Weet and his intelligent family makes the book a true page-turner. Wilson writes in clear, complex sentences with…vocabulary that does not condescend to young readers, the story is so compelling that there is danger they won't continue reading. Highly Recommended." (Canadian Book Review Annual ) "The ideas and issues of the story are strong, as is the writing. An informative and exciting story for children." Recommended." (CM Magazine )
