It's 1863 and Magdalys lives in an orphanage for children of color. But there is a group of people kidnapping any people of color and sending them south as slaves. This committee will stop at nothing - fire, riots, even killing those who stand in their way. Can Magdalys and her friends find out who is involved and stop them - with their dinosaurs? Yeah - that's right we have dinosaurs that the children ride.
At first I thought the idea was clever and fun but as I kept going through the book the mash up didn't work for me. To be fair, fantasy is usually not my favorite but I do like a good historical fiction. Maybe I would have liked the book better without the dinosaurs - but they were needed to move the plot along with the flying and spying. Not my favorite but I have a feeling some students will like it.
