    The Dinosaur Chronicles Series

    By John Wilson

    ()

    About this series

    "…the story is…exciting, and the relationships between the humanoid dinosaurs and the young humans are believable and noteworthy. Eric struggles with his dilemma of whether or not to tell Weet that his species is ultimately doomed…What is particularly refreshing …is that there are no easy answers in in the story. Recommended." Canadian Book Review Annual.

    In the final book of The Dinosaur Chronicles trilogy, the mysterious meteor showers are increasing in frequency and violence. Eric has the unenviable task of telling his friend that the world he has grown up in is destined to be destroyed by a gigantic meteorite, wiping out much of the life on earth. Little does Eric know that the catastrophe is just around the corner and that he, Rose, Sally, Weet, his friend Saar and pet Sinor must try to survive the destruction. In the desolate world after the impact, Weet and Saar must find the strength to rebuild their lives and lead their people in a world that has changed forever.

    "Wilson provides a poignant…portrayal of Weet and his companion Saar as they face the end of their species with courage and determination…He carefully develops Eric's adolescent feelings of not belonging anywhere, as well as Eric and Rose's sibling bond." Resource Links

      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 )

      "This is a fun book and dinosaur-mad youngsters will have fun reading it and imagining themselves in the shoes of Eric and Rose. Recommended." (CM Magazine ) This compelling sequel continues the time-travel adventures of Eric, Rose and Sally in the world of dinosaurs sixty-six-million-years ago. Weet, enlightened by what his time-travelling friends have taught him, feels a longing to discover what mysteries about his people lie beyond the terrifying Fire Mountain. Legends have it that Weet's ancestors were driven out of a coastal paradise by invading hordes of terrifying predators. The three friends set off on an adventurous quest to uncover the truth. With the invaluable help of his friends from the distant future, Weet finds an ancient colony of ancestral beings oddly different from himself. A true hero, Weet uncovers his people's history and plots a course for a bright new future. "Children 8 to 10 years will be fascinated with this world of scary creatures, near-death adventures, erupting volcanoes and hostile pre-humans." (Comox Valley Echo )
