**A fast-paced adventure, full of action, excitement and great characters - short chapters and vibrant illustrations encourage young readers** A T-Rex in town? Raptors in the garden?....Impossible! That's what Marlin Maxton thinks, until a trip to a museum where Marlin discovers a forgotten room with a dusty old dinosaur display.

As awesome as their prehistoric predecessors - and able to talk, feel and work together as a team. Best of all, they befriend Marlin. Together boy and dinosaurs embark on a series of thrilling adventures - the first being to protect the dinosaurs from their new predators - hunting humans who want to destroy them.

Young readers, who enjoy: Jack Stalwart, Dinosaur Cove or Beast Quest, will love this new series. Age Range: 6 - 10 (depending on reading ability) Length: 11,000 words, 13 chapters. Illustrations: Illustrated throughout **EXTRACT** Marlin woke up suddenly. It was the middle of the night and there was a noise outside his window. He sat up and blinked. He was dreaming. No! There it was again! TAP...TAP TAP...TAP... He slipped out of bed and crept over to the curtains. The floor was cold under his feet and the air was chilly but he hardly noticed. He reached out with one finger and nudged a crack in the curtains. WOOOOSH! Something very fast flashed past - silver in the moonlight - and was gone. Marlin jumped back, his heart racing. "What was that?!" He edged forwards again. He pulled the curtains open wider this time and peered out. At first he saw nothing, but then he noticed the strange marks on the lawn. All over, the grass was churned up and muddy as if something heavy had been racing around on it. Then he saw it. A creature, standing at the end of the garden. Just under the apple tree, next to the back garden gate, was a little silver dinosaur with a long whip tail and a slender neck. It cocked its head to one side, blinked and looked right at him. There was no mistaking it. It was one of the Troodons from the museum. **EDITORIAL REVIEWS** "Imaginative and full of action - with illustrations to make it all come alive" - Parents-in-Touch "My 7 year old son LOVED it ...a fun, creative story where science fiction and dinosaurs intersect" - Mother Daughter Book Reviews website

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From bestselling children's author and TV broadcaster, Dermot O'Leary, comes an action-packed new adventure from Toto the ninja cat - when all the cheese in the world disappears, it's up to her to sniff it out! Purrfect for fans of The Aristocats, The Secret Life of Pets and Atticus Claw Breaks the Law. Toto, the amazing ninja cat, is back and cooler than ever! Toto is almost blind, but that doesn't stop her having brilliant adventures. Something CAT-ASTROPHIC has happened: ALL the cheese in the world has been stolen. Join Toto, her brother Silver and their best friend Catface on a secret mission to save the day. Toto is going to need all her ninja skills to defeat the fur-midable cheese thief . . . Ideal for reading aloud or for children to curl up with and read alone, the story features brilliant black and white illustrations throughout by Nick East. With gentle themes of friendship, inclusivity and winning in the face of adversity, this is a hilarious must-read for all animal-loving kids! Dermot says: 'The idea for Toto first came to me when my wife and I rescued two stray cats from an olive grove in Italy. One of them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realised she had ninja-like reactions. Like a lot of cat owners (or cat servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when we're out or asleep. So before I knew it I was writing about Toto and her brother Silver's nocturnal adventures around London. I really hope that children who pick it up enjoy reading the adventures of our little Italian underdog (cat).' Have you seen Toto's other adventures? The Great Snake Escape, The Superstar Catastrophe, The Mystery Jewel Thief and The Legend of the Wildcat are out now, and make perfect gifts for young readers. For more animal adventures, discover Wings of Glory. Can one tiny bird help to win a world war? A funny action-adventure story with a feathery twist, from the bestselling children's author of Toto the Ninja Cat, Dermot O'Leary, with glorious illustrations throughout by Claire Powell.
