About this item
They stoke the boiler, stow the luggage, and when hills are steep, they even get out and push. That's right, the thrill-seeking daredevil dinosaurs from Dinosailors are back, and now they're riding a train. But this train is more like a roller coaster--up, down, and faster and faster, until the dinos realize the brakes are out! Laughs and thrills abound in this rip-snorting tale of reckless reptiles and their runaway train.
About the Author
Deb Lund is the author of MONSTERS ON MACHINES, DINOSAILORS, ALL ABOARD THE DINOTRAIN, DINOSOARING, and other books for children. She can ride a unicycle and juggle (though not at the same time) , and she's a popular presenter at schools, bookstores, libraries, and conferences. An upper middle-grade novel, an adult novel, and a book on teaching writing are among her current projects. Deb is a creativity coach, writing teacher, and continuing education instructor for writing teachers at www.hol.edu. She's been a classroom and music teacher, a librarian, a school founding director, and in case you didn't figure it out yet, she's passionate about supporting writers, education, and the arts.
If you're a writer, you'll want to check out Deb's 54-card deck and guidebook, FICTION MAGIC: CARD TRICKS & TIPS FOR WRITERS. With card "tricks" (prompts that help intensify the tension in your stories) and "tips" (suggestions to help relieve the tension in your writing life) , FICTION MAGIC is part craft lessons and part creativity coaching. It's like having two decks in one. And if you want to see more progress on your projects, you'll want to talk with Deb about being your coach.
Thanks to her many interests and a trio of teens, Deb is an expert at creating in the middle of chaos. She and her husband, Karl Olsen of The Brothers Four, live with their remarkable kids and obedient schnauzer on Whidbey Island in Washington state, where it seems everyone is an artist of some kind.
