Mom's Review:
A lighthearted and fun adventure that's hard to put down. You can't help cheering for the plucky heroine, who looks for the good in everything and has a real talent for fencing. Newton the baby dinosaur is really cute, and you'll wish you had one for a pet, even if it's not quite clear what kind of dinosaur Newton is. A thoroughly enjoyable book for all ages.
