Magdalys is like any other black New Yorker afraid that maybe the next day she is going to be put into slavery. When her and her other friends go to a field trip to hear Shakespeare she notices her knack of talking to dinosaurs. Of course it must be a coincidence, I mean who has ever heard of a black New Yorker girl talking to a actual dinosaur. After Richard Riker plans to kidnap the black kids and send them to slavery down south. She has to escape and find her wounded brother, she has courage and strength and she knows she has to save her friends. She escapes into free lands but those are not safe any more either. But no one can be trusted her and her friends get appointed as spy's which is hard by itself, but when Magdalys notices that she actually can talk to dinosaurs everything is about to be flipped. Find out as she makes a plan in order to finish this kidnapping group and find her way to freedom. This book takes a concept like dinosaurs and slavery and puts them together and is totally worth it.

Totally agree once you get hooked into this book you can not put it down!!

A long time ago, dactyls and all sorts of dinosaurs occupy the streets of New York as a Civil War is in action. Further away, Magdalys Roca got dropped off at the Colored Orphan Asylum when she was a very tiny baby, and has lived there ever since. On a field trip, some of her friends from the Colored Orphan Asylum are kidnapped by the miscreant, Richard Riker. The Dactyl Hill squad is now formed, made up of Magdalys's courageous friends, who are ready to face the evil Riker. Is Magdalys and her fellow members of the squad able to rescue their friends before they run out of time? I enjoyed this book because of the sense of adventure and how you can relate to the characters and feel as if you you're in the book with Magdalys. I have to admit that it took me some time to get into the book, but once I got into it I was hooked!
