Description
A hilarious and heart-warming story about a boy with ADHD who is transformed into a dinosaur.
Rory is having a weird week. A really weird week. He has been turned into a ridiculous, small, feathered dinosaur. Pretty awkward. Rory can’t use a human toilet. He can’t hold a video game controller in his little dino claws. His breath smells really bad. And his new carnivore body can’t stop craving sausages.
Rory finally gets his friends to take his embarrassing situation seriously, and together they embark on Operation Make Rory Human Again. But it's not easy. Will Rory be stuck as a dinosaur forever?

I received an electronic ARC from Publisher Spotlight through NetGalley.
Wallace wraps some serious thoughts in humor and fun. Rory eats a meal prepared by his mom as he does every evening, but this one is a bit different. He wakes up as a dinosaur. Readers will enjoy the humor and feel the other emotions he goes through as they try to find a cure. Different levels of understanding will depend the reader's age. I appreciate the way Rory and his friends keep searching for answers and how their various talents work together to find solutions.
