Dinotopia - Chomper, by Donald F. Glut

Dinotopia - Chomper, is one of many books in the series which is based on DINOTOPIA, authorized by James Gurney, the creator of Dinotopia. Dinotopia is a hidden island, where dinosaurs and shipwrecked humans have joined together to build a fantastic new world.

In this book, a young teenager name Perry visits the outskirts of Rainy Basin. The night before there was a big storm, the next day he discovers the bridge is down. He also discovers a young dinosaur that is a Giganotosaurus and he names him Chomper. He couldn't just let Chomper die there, so he takes it home with him. Then he discovers that he is getting bigger every day! When he goes to the market Chomper gets his first strike (if he gets three he has to leave the town and is sent to the Rainy Basin). Does Chomper get three strikes resulting in his being banished to the Rainy Basisn or does he get to stay in the town with Perry forever? Read this book to find out.

One of the great things about this series is that it is written by many different authors. Donald Glut, the author of this book is internationally known for his work with dinosaurs. He wrote the Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia book series.
