"Jurassic" Jemma Thorne with the help of her dog, Dino, finds a fossil which might save not only the local museum but the whole fictional village of Lulcombe; however, nobody was ready for what this discovery would cause. Old memories, old acquaintances, and new opportunities will take place fighting to turn Jemmas' world around. And not necessarily in the good way... 


After finishing this book I have to recognize I have mixed feelings. Overall, this book was fantastic. I loved the mystery, the writing, the adventure, the different situations that were developing throughout the whole book, and Jemma itself (the main character). I was able to relate with most of what she was feeling/living. However, there were some things I couldn't fully understand because there was not enough context, the resolution of something made no sense at all to me, or the decision taken by a character was completely nonsense. Other that that, this was a good read and I truly enjoyed it. Totally recommend: 4.5/5 stars.
