Midwest Book Review:
Readers ages 7-10, whether they are newcomers to young paleontologists James Bone or prior fans, will welcome another set of zany prehistoric adventures in The Sticky Stegosaurus Saga.
Newcomers to the graphic novel hero receive a recap of the setting, characters, and contentions before the story opens with a lively bang.
The kids on James' team of friends jump, make sound effects, and exhibit energy and enthusiasm as they tackle the dual goals of being paleo-cowboys and cowgirls, leaping into trouble with a swoosh and a whoosh that carry them on a shopping expedition laden with dinosaurs.
Perhaps even zanier than James Bone's other paleo-adventures, The Sticky Stegosaurus Saga crafts a whimsical setting in a premise that blends stegosaurus facts with a bone-searching treasure hunt that James and his friends find challenging and captivating.
The graphic novel format comes alive as each page of action-packed adventure leads young readers on yet another dinosaur discovery.
The result is a story filled with humor, fun, and scientific insights that engage young readers in nonfiction dinosaur facts while adding the drama and flavor of a romp through an unusual Wild West.
Adults seeking to engage reluctant readers with the graphic novel format but who look for the added value of education paired with action will find The Sticky Stegosaurus Saga a perfect combination of humor, facts, and ribald fun.
