Xtinct!: T-Rex terror by Ash Stone

Jeevan was not happy about having to move to a new home because of his mum’s work, but he did share her interest in fossils, and he loves dinosaurs. While riding his bike in the forest he came close to several cool creatures and he let his mind run away with him a bit thinking there were dinosaurs in the forest when they were just ordinary animals. He also encountered some hunters and was able to save a deer from them, but this put him in danger. He manages to escape and get back to his mum’s lab. That night there is a accident there which manages to bring some of the fossils that were left on her bench to life.

Jeevan then realizes with the hunters in the forest they would love to get their hands on a trophy like a T-Rex so he needs to ensure that the T-Rex is safe and also that the people around are safe from it. With the help of the Neanderthal girl, dodo and someone who lives in the forest, Jeevan is able to find a safe place for the T-Rex to live where it can't hurt anyone and where the hunters will never find it.

This is an easy to read novel and the illustrations add another element to the story.

I highly recommend this book.
