About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a daunting challenge or feels like they lack the 'natural talent' their peers seem to possess. It is a perfect choice for kids who need to see that patience and a gentle heart are often more powerful than brute strength. Set in the quirky world of Dino-Texas, the story follows young Josh Sandler as he tries to save his family's struggling farm by taming a wild triceratops named Jolt. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core is deeply grounded in themes of resilience, financial responsibility, and the bond between siblings. It manages to balance high-stakes adventure with humorous moments, making it an excellent bridge for readers transitioning into longer chapter books. Parents will appreciate how it models a growth mindset, showing that mastery comes through trial, error, and an understanding of others rather than just physical dominance.
