DINOROOST

The grown-ups vanished. The dinosaurs came back. Up in seven impossible trees above a flooded town, the kids built a village and made a life: rope bridges, lanterns, a long table at sunset and a workshop full of improbable rigs. This is the Roost, and there is a place on the crew for you.

DINOROOST is the world of Jory Hark's ten-book adventure series. Lars, Nell, Odji, Kit, Pia, Tarn, Wren and Mars keep the Roost running, each with a different skill and a different way through. The dinosaurs are never tamed, only asked: Bramble, Boiler, Nine, Kettle and the mischievous Tick-Tocks each answer in their own way, and every rig the kids build is one the animal can always shed.

The DINOROOST games play in your browser. Choose your ground crew and run the trail: walk beside Lars and Bramble, take the high leaps with Kit and Nine, or set off with Mars and Kettle, three chapters each. In Nell's workshop you assemble a rig piece by piece, tune it, test it and cast it off. In Sky Post you carry letters across five courses, in two different breezes. Parcel Toss lobs soft parcels across six yards toward the bell targets. The dinosaur clue quiz has 24 questions, and the Field Note Quest introduces twelve animals.

The Adventure Board ties it all together: 26 tasks across the six activities, six seals to earn and the home bell at the end, with the Last Lantern relay on the way. Along the trail there are 72 stars and 28 achievements to collect, and your discoveries fill a personal Roost passport of field records for every person and animal you meet.

It is built for readers aged nine to twelve. There are no accounts: your progress is saved in your own browser.
