Xtinct!: Tiger Hunt: Book 2

by Ash Stone

After Jeevan saved a T-Rex from dangerous hunters in the summer, he thinks his biggest adventure is behind him. Winter is here, and with it there are snowball fights and snowboarding races with his Neanderthal friend, Toe. It would be the perfect winter, if Barron Fox's new hunting lodge wasn't progressing so quickly, and if his mum wasn't so obsessed with recreating his earlier accident at the lab.

When she tries to bring another harmless fossil of an extinct passenger pigeon back to life, she's sure nothing could go wrong....

Perfect for fans of Beast Quest, Deadly 60 and Jurassic Park, these action-packed adventures will inspire listeners to help save endangered species and combat extinction.

About the author

Ash was born on Christmas Day 1974. So started a life of "Merry Christmas...And oh! Happy Birthday too." Before you say, "Aw Shame" and break out the tissues, please know that Ash is a Christmas Diva! There are always two presents ...or else!

Reading and writing was a big part of Ash's life growing up. Being a typical rebel, rather than joining the cut-throat corporate world after graduating, Ash became a vegetarian hippie instead and went into the gardening/ nursery business. The irony of a vegetarian "plant lover" is still lost this award winning Horticulturist to this day.
Ash traded comfortable hemp attire for corporate cotton later on and became the Purchasing Manager for McDonald's Asia, Pacific, Middle East and Africa region. These days neither the high flying corporate Exec or the vegetarian hippie exist, but rather the family orientated book lover with not so much spare time to read anymore.

The eternal rebel loves to connect with fans (or "Stoneys!" as they are lovingly referred to). So, go on and stalk away, you rebel you!

[I Read, Therefore I Blog · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second in Ash Stone’s eco-friendly illustrated adventure series for readers aged 6+ has its heart in the right place and I liked the diversity of Jeevan and his mother. However the execution was pretty flat - as are the illustrations - while the antagonists of Smith and Jones struggle to be stock characters and the depiction of Toe left me a bit uncomfortable. Ultimately this just didn’t work for me and I wouldn’t rush to read on.
