About this ebook
Maxwell Harper knows what he likes, and what he likes are dinosaurs. But where can a sharp-eyed kid like Maxwell spot a genuine dinosaur these days? Make that dinosaurs plural!
Tracking monsters was not even on the radar when Maxwell and his two sisters, Patty and Lee Jay, arrived at the Lazy L dude ranch in the Yakima Valley that hot August afternoon. In fact their young host at the Lazy L, Marty Lawrence, had heard all he wanted to hear about the prehistoric creatures. Dinosaurs! They were giving the Lazy L a bad name.
But could these reports be true? Did real-life dinosaurs really exist?
Maxwell was about to find out.
Meanwhile there were other sinister forces gathering in the valley. The Lazy L was under siege. Some big-city bad guys wanted to take it over, and they had the firepower to do it. And now, under a moonlit sky, two silent figures are seen moving among the valleys ghostly shadows

Seattle writer Al Hooper is on a mission. He wants readers of all ages to share the same creative excitement he has enjoyed all his life. Its an excitement that can only be found in the mysteries of the printed page. Reading a book puts you in the action like nothing else, Hooper says. Youre not just watching stuff happen, as with TV and other passive pursuits. Youre part of whats happening. Youre experiencing a special time and place from the inside. Hoopers previously published mystery novel, Martial Law in Yakima, drew on his involvement in the martial arts (he holds a black belt in two different systems). Hidden Valley returns to the same general turf the Yakima Valley in Central Washington. But this mystery, for readers 10 and up, is one for the prehistoric ages. Speaking for myself, the author says, I wouldnt miss it for the world. The primeval world, that is. (Al Hooper is a longtime newspaperman who now freelances. His website is at E-HOOPER.com.)
