Dinothaw

by Rose Siva

Overview

Josh travels to Antarctica with his father, Steve, to retrieve dinosaur bones recently discovered in a melting glacial cave. His previous experience exploring outback Australia, on a hunt for bones with his Grandfather,  and his help with a dig in South Australia, convinces the scientific team leader that Josh would be a valuable member of the team. Besides which, Steve's skills are very important to ensure the expedition is a success, and he refuses to accept the challenge without his son. 

Landing on the Antarctic ice in a small aeroplane is just the beginning of their adventure. The pressure is on to retrieve the bones as the weather closes in, and an accident almost ends their efforts.

However, with the help of an experienced Russian helicopter pilot they manage what seems to be an impossible task, and the bones are flown to the supply vessel. But, the ship becomes trapped in sea ice ....

Will their expedition be successful?

About the Author

Rose first became involved in working on dinosaur bones in Queensland in 2008. Since then she has qualified as an Honorary Technician with the Australian Age of Dinosaurs in Winton, and worked on the bones from a number of different dinosaurs found in the area. She has also extensively explored sites of dinosaur interest in Australia. This decade long interest has resulted in a number of children's books. Rose's extensive knowledge and experience in the field combined with her work experience in literary support for reading skills, particularly in the school environment, inspired her to write. This has resulted in a series of books written to engage younger readers in interesting, real life situations featuring dinosaurs. Although fiction, her books are based around actual situations with Australian dinosaurs. Rose's books are perfect for early independent readers of mid to late primary school age.
