Description

Jade’s pet dinosaur, Indigo, loves to play hide-and-seek, but when some of the neighborhood pets go missing, Jade worries that Indigo might be responsible! Then Jade discovers that Indigo DID have something to do with their disappearance—just not in the way that she thought! Follow Jade and Indigo’s adventures in this delightful chapter book series about friendship and loyalty.

From the new series Jade's Pet Dinosaur for ages 5-8.

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!

Natasha lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with her pets and husband. When she’s not writing, she spends a lot of time trying to convince her animals that she’s the real boss of the house.
