| Publisher Description: Praise for Chronal Engine: "Think Survivor and Robinson Crusoe, with a helping of Jurassic Park and a seasoning of The Time Machine." --School Library Journal "This is exactly the book young dino fans would write themselves." --Booklist In this time-travel dinosaur adventure, Max Pierson-Takahashi and his friend Petra return to the days of the dinosaurs, where they must survive attacks from mosasaurs, tyrannosaurs, and other deadly creatures, including a vengeful, pistol-toting girl from the 1920s.
