Dino-Mike is on the trail of a T. Rex in this chapter book adventure!

The son of a famous paleontologist, young Michael Evans travels the world with his dino-huntin' dad. As Dad digs for dino bones, Mike does some exploring on his own and winds up finding a live T. Rex!

After tracking what couldn't possibly be real, Mike meets a mysterious kid that seems to know why and how the real dinosaur got here.

In 1995, Franco founded Blindwolf Studios, an independent art studio where he and fellow creators can create children's comics.

Industry Reviews

Aureliani's b&w illustrations bring a fittingly cartoony vibe to the madcap action. . . .dinosaur fans should still be swept up in the fun.-- "Publishers Weekly"
Michael travels with his paleontologist dad. On this particular trip, Mike wanders off and meets a girl who is trying to trap a REAL dinosaur to send it back in time from where it came. I think kids will enjoy this first book in a new dinosaur adventure series. It's a simple adventure story with good kid-appeal.-- "Imagination Soup"
The appearance of a live T. Rex near a fossil dig kicks off a wild round of dino-antics in this series kickoff from an Eisner Award-winning comics writer. . . .Franco strews his lickety-split escapade with cartoons featuring wide-eyed figures viewed, often, from dramatic angles, leaves loose ends aplenty for sequels, and tacks on a dino-glossary and a set of T. Rex facts at the end. Like Sam with those hot dogs, readers eager to snap up any dino-story will make quick work of this tongue-in-cheek romp.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Young readers will enjoy the fast-paced adventures and will overlook the unbelievable actions. Large font, short paragraphs, cartoon drawings, and simple vocabulary make this series a good selection for readers moving into the beginning novel.-- "School Library Connection"
