Captain Raptor And The Moon Mystery

Captain Raptor And The Moon Mystery

Author: Kevin O'malley

A cross between a picture book and a graphic novel, Captain Raptor and the Moon Mystery is the 2006 Golden Duck award winner that will captivate young readers who love dinosaurs. What's more awesome than space-travelling dinosaurs, really? When a strange light streaks across the sky on the planet Jurassica, the dinosaurs are worried. It's up to Captain Raptor and the crew of the USD Megatooth to travel to the nearby moon of Eos to find out what has happened. The ship crash lands in Eos's sea leading to a scary encounter with a giant octopus, and then, our jurassic heroes find what has caused all the commotion, human astronauts. The adventure isn't over however. When the human commander is kidnapped, it's up to Captain Raptor to once again save the day.  Readers will find a lot to love in this tale, and Captain Raptor's adventures are continued in Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates. The melodrama and the illustrations are a great throwback to pulp sci-fi, and kids will love the adventure of the stories as well as the humor. The comic book style will engage even the most reluctant reader. A great sci-fi story for 5-10 year olds who love dinosaurs and space travel.
