Dinosaur Boy by Cory Putman Oakes
A laugh-out-loud, quirky new middle grade series that looks at bullying in an entirely new and inventive way.
Sawyer's grandfather was part Stegosaurus, so it wasn't a complete surprise when puberty included growing spikes and a tail. But when the kids who bully him at school go missing it's up to Sawyer and his friends, Elliott and Sylvie, to solve the mystery
Despite the Principal's Zero Tolerance Policy, Sawyer becomes a bully magnet, befriended only by Elliot aka Gigantor and the weird new girl. When the bullies start disappearing, Sawyer is relieved--until he discovers a secret about the principal that's more shocking than Dino DNA. The bullies are in for a galactically horrible fate.and it's up to Sawyer and his friends to rescue them.
With issues like bullying, not fitting in, and heroism, this is a book that kids and adults will share and treasure. It's Wonder with dinosaurs and is sure to touch your heart.--P. J. Hoover, author of Tut: The Story of My Immortal Life
A wild and wacky adventure.with enough twists and turns to rival a roller coaster, DINOSAUR BOY is sure to appeal to wonderfully weird kids of every shape and size.--Kelly Milner Halls, award-winning author of Girl Meets Boy
