A Prehistoric Odyssey: Gone to the Great Dying

by Kale Link

Time travel may seem like a magical concept, but when Owen Walker and his friends are mysteriously transported 252 million years into the prehistoric past, a harsh reality sets in. In the Permian desert, they must contend with dehydration, apex predators, and an impending mass extinction, the largest the world has ever seen. Will Owen and his classmates be able to come together and survive? Even if they do, will they ever be able to find a way home? Only time will tell.

Pretty good book. An entire 7th grade class is pulled through a portal to the Permian period just before the greatest extinction event in earth's history. The kids seemed older more like high school junior or senior students.
