Ethan and Eva Thomas live on a sheep ranch with their father and aunt. As an avid amateur photographer of local wildlife, twelve year old Ethan deplores hunting and guns of any kind. As an animal lover, he maintains a small "trauma ward" in the back of his father's barn where he nurses wounded animals back to health, then frees them into their natural habitat. Eva, his ten year old sister, inherited more of her father's genes and as a consequence, loves guns and hunting and aspires to be a big game hunter and explorer in the Alaska wilderness. Although both enjoy ranch life and the great outdoors, their different natures are constantly at odds with each other.Then, then, is the story of how a gentle-hearted boy and his tomboy kid sister meet the challenge of dealing with a mysterious white wolf and a terrifying grizzly bear aptly named, "Ol' Lucifer" who roams the foothills of the Grizzly Mountain Range.

Do you believe in dinosaurs? Of course you do. Everybody does! They used to live back in the old days… before people got here. Some of them were real dangerous, too! But we don’t have to worry about them anymore because they’re all dead now, right? At least that’s what everyone thinks, anyhow. Everyone except Dennis! Dennis swears that one day a dinosaur followed him home. No one believes him, of course, because we all know that dinosaurs just don’t exist anymore. At least I don’t believe they do, do you? Dennis does. But maybe Dennis just has a very good imagination. Or could it be that maybe he’s a little looney? Or maybe we can just say he was only dreaming, right? So, why don’t we all stop guessing? Let’s just read what’s inside and find out where Dennis ever got the idea that he has “A PET DINOSAUR!”
