The Bone Wars Review

14 year old Thad wants to be a scout. He starts to look for dinosaur bones on Indian land. The Indians find him, they mean no harm. He becomes friends with them and learns about life. Thad meets Buffalo Bill and he recommends Thad for a fossil hunting expedition. Thad gets the job and starts digging with them. This book starts kind of slow but then picks up the pace. The characters are great and the plot is awesome.

Wow!

Wow! what a book to read! Hey, it is a book everybody should read at least once.
