| Book description |
|
You’re 14 and find yourself on your own. Your father, who has developed the world’s cutting edge research on virtual electronic game-playing, has been missing for weeks. And suddenly you’re being hunted by men with guns, your picture is on the news, and, worst of all, something seemingly impossible is chasing you—a savage, man-eating dinosaur. How can that be? Why is everyone trying to capture you? And what is your strange connection with this 21st-century prehistoric monster?
Steve Cole has created an absurdly gripping and kid-friendly thriller that will capture imaginations. If Jurassic Park were to meet Alex Rider, the result might well be this irresistible new novel.

Wikipedia in English
This book has a very cinematic sensibility. It will make an amazing movie if it is every filmed. Although the premise is a little flimsy, and the science is never fully explained, the likable main character makes it easy to suspend disbelief. The idea of a sentient and violent dinosaur roaming the world with a teenage boy on his back is very exciting and will definitely interest a lot of young boys.
It is a very violent book, which should taken into account before adding it to a collection. However it will excite those readers who would love a video game to come to life. (
