Praise for Chronal Engine:
"Think Survivor and Robinson Crusoe, with a helping of Jurassic Park and a seasoning of The Time Machine." --School Library Journal
"This is exactly the book young dino fans would write themselves." --Booklist
In this time-travel dinosaur adventure, Max Pierson-Takahashi and his friend Petra return to the days of the dinosaurs, where they must survive attacks from mosasaurs, tyrannosaurs, and other deadly creatures, including a vengeful, pistol-toting girl from the 1920s. The fast pace, mind-bending time twists, and Greg Leitich Smith's light, humorous touch make this an exciting, fun choice for readers looking for adventure and nonstop action.
But prehistoric predators aren't the only things waiting for them in the past.
- Deadly Prehistoric Creatures: From fearsome tyrannosaurs on land to terrifying mosasaurs in the water, Max and Petra must use all their wits to avoid becoming dino dinner.
- A Rival Time Traveler: A mysterious, pistol-toting girl from the 1920s is hunting them through the Cretaceous jungle, and she's out for revenge.
- Mind-Bending Time Twists: Navigating the past is tricky enough without the timeline itself twisting into knots, creating dangers no one could predict.
- Nonstop Action: Perfect for young dino fans and readers who love fast-paced adventures like Jurassic Park and The Time Machine.
