In this story, Marlin must find the courage to take his place in a scary battle and the resourcefulness to free his friends and lead them to safety. And he still has a mystery to solve - how to wake his favourite Dinotek - the old centrosaurus, Protos.

Nayuleska's thoughts
Book
2 is as nail-bitingly good as book 1! I was terrified for the dinosaurs, unable
to see how such large
creatures
could escape the formidable force assembled by Grubbler outside the museum but
they found a way!
Well, them and Marlin. Once again I loved how Marlin's uncle is supportive of
his nephew, how he
thinks
ahead to prepare Marlin for whatever lies ahead. Gus doesn't join Marlin and
the dinoteks, instead
he
helps out in another way which I suspect will be essential to keeping the
dinoteks safe in later books.
Sadly
I think Grubbler will produce more sinister ways to take revenge on Marlin's
friends, but I'm certain they
will continue to evade him...hopefully!
