Step back into the prehistoric past with Spin to Survive: Dinosaur Island, a thrilling choose-your-own-adventure through a land lost to time.

Somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle lies an island lost to time, where dinosaurs still roam. It’s up to you to survive against the odds and save this prehistoric world from danger!

In this chance-driven choose-your-own-adventure gamebook, you’ll face off against T. rex, dangle from a pterosaur’s talons, and try to slip past Spinosaurus.

It’s your story, your way: make your choice and spin your trusty Survival Spinner (included) to survive. Every decision you make could lead to success . . . or disaster!

Along the way, explore the world of the Cretaceous, coming face-to-face with monstrous mosasaurs, towering titanosaurs, and armoured ankylosaurs, with fact-files on every species. No two journeys through Spin to Survive: Dinosaur Island are ever the same!

Perfect for budding palaeontologists and dinosaur fans, as well as all children who love adventure, this action-packed gamebook brings the prehistoric world roaring to life.

Discover other thrilling Spin to Survive adventures: Frozen Mountain, Deadly Jungle, Pirate Peril, Deep Space Danger, The Pharaoh’s Curse.

About the Author

Emily Hawkins is an award-winning author who has written more than 40 books for children. Her work combines a curiosity about history and the natural world with a love of myth, folklore, and storytelling. Her best-known books include Oceanology, which appeared on the New York Times bestseller list, and A Natural History of Fairies, illustrated by Jessica Roux, which has been translated into sixteen languages. She is the author of the much-loved Spin to Survive adventure series, and the Lost Atlases books of myths and legends. Emily spent much of her childhood searching for ghosts, and she’s still looking. She lives in rural Hampshire, England, with her husband and two daughters.

R. Fresson makes illustrations that nod to the past. She hand-draws in pen and ink, then colours digitally, inspired by the print processes of early 20th century comics and magazines. Her line-work is lodged in the ligne-claire style, made famous by Hergé, Joost Swarte, Bob de Moor and Theo van den Boogaard among many others. Humour is an important aspect to R. Fresson’s work and she continues to develop a witty practice with a dextrous vintage aesthetic, working with clients including the New York Times, Monocle, The Guardian, GQ and The New Yorker.
