A Dinosaur Ate My Sister is the first book selected in the Marcus Rashford Book Club. 'The perfect story to escape into and find adventure. Pooja is super talented and I'm a big fan!' - Marcus Rashford MBE This brilliantly illustrated, laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure through time by Pooja Puri is the perfect blend of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Jurassic Park. Before you start reading, there are a few things you should know: 1. I, Esha Verma, am a genius inventor extraordinaire. 2. There is nothing I cannot invent. This includes words. 3. I did not mean to send my sister back to the Age of the Dinosaurs. That was HER OWN FAULT (Mum and Dad, if you’re reading this, please take note). Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his cunning pet tortoise have a dream. They are going to win the legendary Brain Trophy – the ultimate inventing prize. This year's entry: A TIME MACHINE. But the day before the competition, Esha's IGNORAMUS big sister hijacks the time machine and is lost in the Cretaceous age. With help from a new recruit for The Office of Time, Esha and Broccoli will have to face hungry dinosaurs, mysterious black holes and malfunctioning inventions to get them back in time. The Marcus Rashford Book Club is a collaboration between Marcus Rashford and Macmillan Children's Books, inspiring children to develop a love of reading and literacy as a life skill.

Esha and her apprentice, Broccoli, invent a Time Machine, but Esha's 'drong' of a big sister, Nishi, steels the Time Machine and accidentally goes back to the age of the dinosaurs, where she meets a terrifying T-Rex and a carnivorous guzzler.

This was a really funny book. I liked it because I like science and the main character was very sciencey! She likes doing experiments and would love to win the brain trophy which is a competition for the best invention. She makes a time machine and her sister steals it. So with the help of the time agency she goes back and finds her sister and brings her home, with funny parts on the way. I think my friends would like this book.

A funny book for all the family.A must for thrill seekers.
Prince Geronimo Dangerous 31.07.2022
It was a fiction book that was sometimes funny. It was about a scary t-Rex who ate the author’s annoying sister. It was not one of my favourites. I would not tell my friends about it because there was too much sadness when the teradactyl swooped and grabbed the sister and dropped her into a pond where the t-Rex ate her.

I like that they invent things and they go to the cretaceous period in the cool perambulater. It's very exciting and has good pictures. I think young people who like dinosaurs and inventing should read this book.
