Meet Ann—a smart but unlucky teenager keeping a diary of her life as she hunts for dinosaur bones. When she gets an opportunity to search for fossils in the American West, Ann is determined to turn her luck around and show the world her discoveries. The hilarious Long-Lost Secret Diary series put readers inside the heads of unlucky people in unfortunate situations. The accessible, irreverent stories will keep young readers laughing as they learn the importance of not being afraid to learn from one’s mistakes. Get Real fact boxes featured throughout, as well as a glossary and additional back matter, provide historical context and background.

Hott Review:

If you have have dinosaur enthusiasts at your house you’ll want to read The Long-Lost Secret Diary of the World’s Worst Dinosaur Hunter.

The Long-Lost Secret Diary of the World’s Worst Dinosaur Hunter is a terrific book! While most is a woven story of intrigue that weaves fact and fiction the end outlines the 100+ years of dinosaur hunting that parents and true dinosaur lovers will cherish.

This would have been a great book for my reluctant readers (who are now adults…) and an even better book for my Dino loving nieces & nephews. I can’t wait to share it with them!
