Malachi Wilks is back in town with a herd of deed saying the Mayor signed over the town to him, and a herd of stegosauruses to knock everything down for his railroad. Josh, Abi, and Sam are sure the crook couldn't have gotten that deed legitimately. But how can they prove it and stop the demolition in time?

I'm afraid Josh is starting to get a little full of himself after pulling off a few other heroic deeds. He does get put in his place a little. Not my favorite book in the series, but it is still a decent Western adventure with dinos.

Notes on content: Dinos knock down some buildings but no people are hurt.

I really love this series. My nephew adores dinosaurs and cowboys and this series cleverly combines both. Fun storylines and characters. A good read to share with the kiddo.

What a way to end the series. My son has enjoyed these books immensely, and wishes there were more. A great school age book for those starting chapter books.

Josh and his friends are determined to save the town from a greedy crook who is determined to make the town his own personal property. As he plans to put a railroad in, the three friends are desperately racing the clock to save their town and Josh’s ranch.

But what can three kids do against a bunch of grownups, huge stegosauruses and a crooked judge?

Join the adventure and see if the friends can save their beloved town!

I loved this book! Super cute and a lot of fun. My kids thought it was hilarious that they were riding Dino’s like horses! Huge thumbs up!
