Review

At the time that Nancy Yi Fan published this, she was 12 years old-isn't that amazing?  I love

that every element needed to make this story as great as it can be is in there. The suspense,

feeling and emotion are amazing, and the cover stands out on any bookshelf. The story itself

is unique-there are hardly any fiction books on animals like birds or related to dinosaurs like

this one. I thought the characters were unique-completely different from each other-and you

could clearly tell who was evil, sho was defenseless, and who was just a servant. I loved the

plot of this book-I had a problem putting it down, and I raced through it as fast as possible.

The description and setting were crystal clear and easy to visualize and see. You could really

relate to what happened to the story, and you could feel every emotion portrayed in this

book like you actually were in it.
