Who Let the Dinosaurs Out?

Robert U. Montgomery Β· 2020
60/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

The mystery-with-nature hook is a smart combination for getting outdoor-curious kids to turn pages, and the life-lesson landing feels organic rather than bolted on. But small-press distribution, no critical journal coverage, and an unverifiable premise about what the 'dinosaurs' actually are in the story leave too many gaps. Solid concept; the execution cannot be confirmed.
