Number 13 in the Dinotopia series
A young boy loses his memory when he falls and hits his head (the result of an earthquake) and he must rely on skills his doesn't know he has as he explores a rarely-visited part of an island. His dinosaur friend must also rely on skills as he proves himself worthy of joining the party hunting for the lost boy.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again to anyone who'll listen...this Dinotopia series of books is the best series out there for young readers. They are creative, innovative, unique, adventurous, moral, and exciting. They teach great lessons without being overtly didactic. What young boy wouldn't want to be on an island where dinosaurs talk and are best friends with human youth?
This particular book seemed a little simpler and even a little more didactic than most of the others that I've read, but I'd still place any book in this series above most other children's series of books.
Do you have a reluctant reader? Particularly if that young reader is a boy, please check out this Dinotopia series.
