Historical Fiction, Middle Grade: In the New York City of 1870, 14-year-old Orville Leblanc gets a chance of a lifetime -- to go to work for Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, who is building a museum devoted to dinosaurs right in the middle of Central Park! But first Orvy has to convince his stern father, who has no tolerance for Orvy's love of art, that the project is "practical." Other, darker, forces are at work, too. Orvy doesn't suspect that he's about to have the most exciting summer of his life. What happens to him will change his future, and that of the Central Park dinosaurs.
