Set in a world where normal humans live alongside powerful dinosaurs (or Saurs for short), Carter and his sister Bea, along with Carter’s pet dinosaur Buster, set out into the wide open plains of Africa.

 

Their challenge is to stop their old enemy, Christian Hayter, along with the greedy Hassler De Bois, from uncovering a precious diamond buried on tribal land.

 

If you’re a fan of dinosaurs then you’ll love this story.  There are big Tyrants like Buster, small Shadow Raptors like the ones that Carter was raised by, and of course, the mighty Stegosaurs that live out on the African plains.

 

Also, in between all the exciting dinosaur action, there is a serious message about protecting the environment, as Carter and Bea want to ensure that the dinosaurs are not hunted for sport or money.

 

Overall, this is an exciting adventure story, with a serious environmental message, best suited for kids 8 to 12 years.
