Saurus St is just like any other street . . . except for the dinosaurs!

What bad luck! Just when Sam's finished his homework a pterodactyl flies through the window and steals it.

Poor Sam. It's the fifth piece of homework he's lost this month. He’s got to get it back.

With the help of big brother Nathan, Sam builds a pterodactyl suit and sets off for Saurus Hill. But there’s an egg-shaped surprise in store for them up there!

He likes to write books that are two parts funny, three parts exciting and one part educational, with a dollop of fantastical thrown in. He first started making up stories for his two young sons when they were living by the beach in Tasmania, and 17 published books later, he’s still going strong!

Nick has 4 series of books on the shelves, all for children aged 6 to 10. Saurus Street, which is about time travelling dinosaurs; Billy is a Dragon, which is about shape-shifting were-beasts; Samurai vs Ninja, which is about shuriken-filled battles; and the ‘How To’ series, which is about kids getting horribly lost in history. Nick has lived and worked in Australia, the US and Asia, and arrived back in the UK in 2015.
