Dinotopia series
by James Gurney
A 19th century English scientist and his son are shipwrecked on
Dinotopia, a fantastic lost world where intelligent dinosaurs and other
marooned humans live together in peace. The narrative exists mainly to
move the reader through the eye-popping illustrations and delightfully
clever dinosaur-related contraptions.
There are four books in this fantasy series: Dinotopia, The
World Beneath, Journey to Chandara, and First Flight. These are fun books for true dinosaur lovers (although we agree with Publisher's Weekly, who said that the series is "too superficial for the serious fantasy reader...[but] great fun to browse through.")
Interest Level: Grade 6+
