About the Book

Twelve year old Matt McAllister thinks his young foster brother, D, is weird, but when D persuades Matt to investigate a giant footprint at the quarry on their farm, Matt's life changes forever. The footprint belongs to an enormous dinosaur, a Barosaurus. The creature has a compelling gaze Matt finds unnerving. He's never had much affinity with animals-much to his father's disgust-but something about the young Barosaurus calls to him. The dinosaur leads the boys to a cave, through which it disappears; and when they follow, they time travel to Gondwanaland, a place more terrifying than anything Matt could imagine. D is entranced and eager to explore. 'Believe' he tells Matt, only Matt 'hears' the word in his head-and he doesn't want to believe it. He feels he's wandered into one of D's weird dreams and wishes he could wake up. When Matt's friends Orange and PJ, turn up, followed by Orange's sister, Samantha-the most annoying girl Matt knows-her friend, Melanie, and nosey newspaper man, Paul, Matt suddenly finds his life more complicated. And why is the second hand of Paul's watch speeding up? The young Barosaurus joins a large herd, and when they trundle away, D takes it into his head to disappear with them. Or has he been trampled to death? Matt knows he must go after D, find him and bring him home, to take responsibility, as his father is always telling him. He, Orange and the girls are left to fend for themselves in a hostile land, a land where time seems to be galloping. Matt realises they are all aging at a rapid rate. He and Orange have muscles, a strange strength beyond their years, and the girls have curves. What does it all mean? And what can he make of D's voice he can 'hear' in his head? Who is D? Matt must find the answers to these questions, overcome his fear of animals, and get them all home to safety before they perish in this bleak, foreign world where time itself seems to be running out.
About the Author: Judy Lawn has been writing for over thirty years. Her ideas for her short stories, picture books and novels come from her love of animals and nature, and a childhood spent exploring the countryside and beaches of New Zealand's North Island. A keen fisher, Judy's first published short story was a fishing yarn, Sam's Kingie. Other short stories have been published in various magazines, including New Zealand Woman's Weekly, Australian/New Zealand Woman's Day and Takahe Magazine. Two children's stories were produced on National Radio. Her adult novels are: Daisies Never Die and Watch Over Me, the first two stories in the Rose Rountree Mystery Series, and Progressions, which won the 2005 EPIC Award for Best Single Title/Mainstream. Her first children's picture book was The Shrimp Who Wanted to be Pink, Reed Publishing (NZ) Ltd 2003. Sebastian's Tail, Penguin Group (NZ) was published in 2008. Two non-fiction books on creative writing have also been published. Judy lives on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula north of Auckland City where the many beautiful beaches and parklands provide inspiration for her stories. A long-held dream of starting her own publishing company came to fruition in 2011, with the launch of Jupiter Publishing NZ Ltd. The company ran until July, 2015. Five books were published, including two children's picture books, Jossie's New Home and Jamie's Monsters and a chapter book, The Giant Greglusam.
