Review Quotes
"Blood and madness; acts of unimaginable courage and inexplicable folly; shipwreck and mayhem and a cataclysmic hurricane ― this tropical paradise has everything. Including pirates. And yes, dinosaurs. Readers will devour Pirates on Dinosaur Island faster than a velociraptor can chomp a buccaneer." ―Liz Hand, author of Available Dark and Radiant Days
