Overview

Book #2 of PaleoJoe's Dinosaur Detective Club.

PaleoJoe's Dinosaur Detective Club is real adventure and real paleontology that all boys and girls love. Everywhere PaleoJoe goes, kids just can't wait to meet him and read his books. Teachers have even told us kids will almost miss the busses because they can't stop reading his books. A classroom in Iowa called them "movies for the brain" and a New York magazine called them a combination of "Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones." You'll call them paleoriffic fun!

Editorial Reviews

(This) series of reptile-related mysteries called the 'PaleoJoe Dinosaur Detective Club' is very big with readers. Getting kids interested in dinosaurs is about as difficult as getting them interested in French fries!
—The Detroit News

Accompany a 21st-century paleontologist as he searches for fossils (in this) fast-paced novel.
—Dig Magazine

In the 2nd in this series, Stolen Stegosaurus, PaleoJoe and Shelly, with Shelly s schoolmate Dakota, battle the dark side of fossil collecting. If you or your child likes Nate the Great or Cam Jansen, you'll find this book an entertaining second step into longer chapter books. There's even a funny little animated dinosaur at the bottom of the pages. Flip the pages and watch him run.
