Mission: Microraptor by Philip Kavvadias (author)

Two boys and a microraptor. A dark, mysterious forest.
And a squad of army-trained mercenaries searching for them. What
could possibly go wrong?
‘Fast, funny and fabulous.’ MAZ EVANS, author
of WHO LET THE GODS OUT?

‘I love these books – they’re short, sharp, hilarious
and ultra readable’ PIERS TORDAY

‘Funny and fast-paced with more twists and turns than a microraptor
in flight’ MO O’HARA

Falling behind their classmates on a school trip to the Alps,
Finn and Milo stumble upon an egg buried in ice.

Later that night it hatches and a 65-million-year-old baby is
born: Arty is a microraptor brought back from extinction.

But keeping her safe proves harder. Wicked scientists will do
anything to get their hands on her, and soon Finn and Milo must run
for their lives …

The first in an thrilling new series of all-action environmental
adventures – with added dinosaurs!

A super-cool debut voice in middle-grade; think Jurassic
Park meets Wimpy Kid with a dash of Alex
Rider

Packed full of humour, action and adventure – with
survival skills and a dinosaur friend called Arty!

Features brilliantly charming illustrations from Euan
Cook throughout

The adventure continues in books 2 and 3, Mission:
Manta Ray and Mission: Monster Mind
