"Older fascinatingly blends thunder-lizard thrills with lesser-known but important aspects of American history....Readers will adore Magdalys Roca (in this) mind-bendingly original series." The New York Times on DACTYL HILL SQUAD nytimes.com/2018/09/28/boo…
Over at scholastic.com/kids/books/dac… you can order DACTYL HILL SQUAD, download the map by @nilaffle, find out about my school visits, and PLAY THE DACTYL HILL VIDEO GAAAAAAME!!
And now, as revealed on @AM2DM, here is @nilaffle's glorious cover for DACTYL HILL SQUAD: FREEDOM FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And now a quick tour of @nilaffle's brilliant rendering of the Dactylverse! Starting of course with our hero Magdalys: I love how we see her starting to come into her own as a leader and dinowarrior here. She's so badass #DactylHillSquad
Mapper, unbothered and ready for action as always. We go deeper into his backstory in Freedom Fire and some of it actually caught me off guard. He's got a lot going on. Love Mapper. #DactylHillSquad
Amaya, looking fierce, wary, epic. Her friendship with Magdalys grows in this book and we find out more about her future and past #DactylHillSquad
Cymbeline Crunk, a world famous Shakespearean actor at only 18, has her hands full lol #DactylHillSquad
And this is a new character: Hannibal, proud New Orleanian and member of the Louisiana Native Guard division of the U.S. Army. Also a helluva dactylrider #DactylHillSquad
And there off on his own dactyl is Two Step!! #DactylHillSquad
Behold: STELLA THE PTERANODON!! And beneath her you can see the Battle of Chickamauga raging at the Tennessee/Georgia border amidst the Appalachians #DactylHillSquad
The Louisiana Native Guard were one of the first all Black units to fight in the war. A fascinating, underdiscussed history en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Louis…
