Dinosaur Boy

The fiction book Dinosaur Boy by Cory Putman Oakes is about a boy who inherited the stegosaurus gene from his grandfather and his difficulties and discoveries because he is part dinosaur. The dinosaur boy, Sawyer, is in the 5th grade along with his best friend, Elliot, and soon becomes friends with Sylve who was revealed to be part martian. The three friends uncovered a plot by their principal to ship off earth kids to other planets to be used as pets, and attempted to rescue their friends. I enjoyed this book because I found this book as a funny, humorous, and light read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book with humour, and quirky features. -Isabella D.
