Iggy & Oz: The Plastic Dinos of Doom by JJ Johnson -- Review

About the Book

What if hundreds of plastic toy dinosaurs suddenly came to life- Could you find a way to stop them...? 

Iggy Risner is your typical wise-cracking twelve year old. When his younger brother, Oz, wakes him in the middle of the night claiming he heard a monster in the attic, Iggy takes him upstairs to prove him wrong. But instead of a flesh-eating beast, they discover hundreds of their toy plastic dinosaurs that have mysteriously come to life.

When the dinos escape the attic and start terrorizing young kids in the neighborhood, and trampling flower beds, somehow Iggy, Oz, and their friends must catch the plastic dinos of doom before the damage escalates. But what do you do when your parent's doubt your story, and a group of clueless neighborhood bullies stand in the way? 

For Iggy & Oz- Catching the little beast may prove to be easier said, than done.

Review

​J.J. Johnson has written a cute story that brings to life the very active imagination of two brothers and their friends.  This story is told from the view point of twelve-year-old Iggy, with some funny inserts every now and again from his younger brother Oz.  Not only does Johnson bring to life the active imagination of kids, but also some real-life experiences and relationships with parents and peers, including friendship and bullying.  This is a great read for any middle grader ready for a dinosaur adventure.
