Have you ever dreamed of going on a dinosaur dig and then finding some real Tyrannosaurus rex bones? Doesn't everyone have that dream?
Asher's dad is a paleontologist, and he and his family join his dad on a dig on the middle of nowhere that leads to some very interesting surprises for everyone.
Asher and his little sister, Rosie, stumble across a very big find all by themselves that Asher decides he must keep a secret until two of his dad's students leave the dig, because Asher doesn't trust them at all. Besides, Asher isn't sure what he has found (even though he believes it is something very important) and he wants his family, especially his father, to get the credit for the find; because Asher is certain this find will make his father very famous.
Find out what happens when Asher enlists the help of his archeologist mother to decipher what he has found. And find out what twists and turns the story takes as Asher, Rosie and Asher's best friend, Lester, try to keep everything top secret.
Beautifully written by Dr. Stanley Friedman with technical advice from his eleven year old son, Max, this book both entertains and educates the reader. Friedman is a musician, composer, and father who is widely published in his field, and has turned his enormous talents to writing this wonderful book. If you are looking for a mystery of kid sized proportions, something that could actually happen to a kid like you, then you will love this book, especially if you love dinosaurs, and if you have ever dreamed of going on a real dinosaur dig!
