A pterosaur glides over a desert ocean.

Taking flight across prehistoric Australia, she searches for her family along the shores of the great Eromanga Sea. Follow her journey and discover a time when dinosaurs dominated the land and pterosaurs ruled the skies.

Step back over 100 million years in this engaging and exquisitely illustrated book by Andrew Plant.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6 to 12.

""This book is a treasure for young readers and future palaeontologists, offering a glimpse into the extraordinary animals that once called Australia home. With his masterful illustrations, Andrew Plant has transformed ancient fossils into unforgettable creatures.""

– Adele Pentland, palaeontologist
