But, maybe the answer to that lies in some of the other books. I don't quite get the lineage or why it's important to state that when you first meet someone.


I wasn't too sure what to make of the way the Dinotopians introduce themselves, though. The adventures are also pretty riveting! I think there's something for everyone in this book and I think I'd recommend it to just about anyone. I think it deals with those subjects very well, a lot better than I was expecting actually. And what happens when you stagnate and lose confidence in yourself. So is learning to move on and find your own place in the world, even when moving on means confronting pain and fear and loss. Accepting the way things are, even if at first they're scary, is a big lesson to learn. I can relate to Hugh a lot, and in some ways to Raymond and Windchaser, as well. This book is short, yet it deals with some pretty interesting subjects. A coming of age story involving dinosaurs, secret island nations, shipwrecks, dolphin rides, and characters who get to ride on the backs of pterodactyls!
