Donovan’s Bookshelf: Book 2 in The Wild World of Buck Bray: Danger at the Dinosaur Stomping Grounds reaches ages 8-11 with a sequel to The Missing Grizzly Cubs that both stands well on its own and as the second series of adventures of Buck and Toni, part of a TV crew that travels the world.

This trip to Utah’s Canyonlands National Park uncovers a different problem: someone is vandalizing the park’s artifacts and stealing its fossils. Can Buck and Toni solve the case when they themselves are threatened? This works as both a stand-alone mystery and a satisfying series addition, so newcomers and old fans alike will find the action involving. The story requires no prior familiarity in order to prove inviting.

Kirkus Review: “Buck, 11-year-old star of a series of nature films for television, is back for a second outing, this time in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park… [when] they learn of dinosaur tracks and fossils located nearby and add these to their filming plans. Nick, a boy they meet while camping, begins to follow Toni and Buck around, creating friction between the pair. Buck is convinced that Nick is stealing things; Toni is pretty sure that Buck is just jealous… This is punctuated by some exciting moments, including a suspenseful climactic chase scene. (Mystery 9-12)”
