Dinosaur Pie

Author: Jen WallaceIllustrator: Alan O’Rourke

Rory is having a very weird week. His mum brought home some special pies from the local supermarket and now he is a dinosaur… a small, feathered dinosaur with claws and a large tail and all he wants to eat is sausages! At first his friends think the situation is hilarious, but he finally makes them take things more seriously and they all join forces to find out how this happened and how they can get Rory back to being human again. When Rory discovers that he is not the only one that is in this odd situation, he is even more determined to find out what has happened. The trouble is that there are some people who don’t want the truth to get out and will try their best to stop Rory and his friends uncovering what is behind the mysterious happenings. Will Rory have to stay a dinosaur forever?

Debut author Wallace has created a warm and hilarious new book about celebrating our differences and exploring life with ADHD – or as Rory and his mum call it, his ‘Amazing Dynamic Hyper Disposition’. With laugh out loud moments, aided by genius cartoon illustrations from O’Rourke, this is the perfect story for the next step in a child’s reading journey, as they move on to more accessible and fun chapter books.
