Loved these as a child. Beautifully imagined world, swashbuckling adventure. Multiple authors for refreshing different writing styles. Scott Ciencin was one of my favorite of the multiple authors.

Entertaining, a little sad that the quest was manufactured though.

[Timothy Pitkin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice simple adventure and the ending message was pretty nice. The characters of Joseph and Fleetfeet were enjoyable even if their competitive nature did get a bit annoying in a few parts and the middle did feel pointless.

A wonderful, fantastic series. The authors do a good job to keep their writing and voice congruous throughout the various books.

One of the first in the Dinotopia series. A good story about cooperation and friendship.

[Gavin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A coming of age story for a boy and a dinosaur. Reasonable, but not really one of the better Dinotopia books.

[Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read through this series of books on dinotopia as an interest in a lesson plan extension for higher elementary school grades, this was expanding the thematic unit i created for kindergarten...

The book surprised me a lot. Joseph is my favorite character because he always is thinking of different paths to go than Fleetfeet does.







I LOVED THE BOOOOOK!!!
