Spotlight: Dinosaur boy Saves Mars by Cory Putman




Title: Dinosaur Boy Saves Mars
Author: Cory Putman Oakes
Release Date: February 2, 2016
Publishers: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Hardcover ISBN 9781492605409
Praise for Dinosaur Boy Saves Mars:

“Deft stimulus for both brains and funny bones.” –Kirkus Reviews




Dinosaurs, Martians, and mystery, oh my! Fans of Michael Buckley’s NERDS and Dan Gutman’s Genius Files will love this hilarious, action-packed adventure series. What would life be like if you were part dinosaur?

When you’re part Stegosaurus life can be a little crazy. (Yes, sleeping with plates is weird. No, dino-human hybrids donot have second brains in their butts.) But Sawyer’s life is normal(ish) -- until he’s yanked aboard a UFO and sent on a mission to Mars.

Sawyer, Elliot and Sylvie travel to Mars to find her missing father, but they find even bigger trouble. Mars is trying to kick Pluto out of the solar system. And the fate of both planets will be decided by the upcoming Pluto VS Mars soccer match. Of course.

It’s an intergalactic mess, and only Sawyer can save Mars, defend Pluto and protect the galaxy…
