About the Series
It all started with a classroom egg-hatching project. The other students hatched chickens, but Jade hatched a dinosaur! It’s tricky to keep a dinosaur as a pet—especially when you’ve convinced your parents that it’s an iguana. Indigo eats a lot more than most pets do, the neighbors are suspicious of him, and when he sneezes, it sounds like thunder! But Indigo is also loving, loyal, and lots of fun! Join Jade as she tries to keep her new best friend safe and undetected all while trying to work out exactly what kind of dinosaur she’s raising.

This early chapter book series is perfect for kids obsessed with dinosaurs as well as those desperate for a pet of their own. Each story is packed with humor and heart—and a bit of dinosaur-based stealth learning!
