Iggy and Oz – The Plastic Dinos of Doom by J. J. Johnson

About the Book

What if hundreds of plastic toy dinosaurs suddenly came to life- Could you find a way to stop them…? 

Iggy Risner is your typical wise-cracking twelve year old. When his younger brother, Oz, wakes him in the middle of the night claiming he heard a monster in the attic, Iggy takes him upstairs to prove him wrong. But instead of a flesh-eating beast, they discover hundreds of their toy plastic dinosaurs that have mysteriously come to life.

When the dinos escape the attic and start terrorizing young kids in the neighborhood, and trampling flower beds, somehow Iggy, Oz, and their friends must catch the plastic dinos of doom before the damage escalates. But what do you do when your parents doubt your story, and a group of clueless neighborhood bullies stand in the way? 

For Iggy & Oz- Catching the little beast may prove to be easier said, than done.

In My Opinion

This fun and imaginative middle grade book features brothers with unique names and the adventure they find in their neighborhood when their plastic toy dinosaurs come to life and escape the attic.
Mostly told from twelve-year-old Iggy’s point of view, with some humorous interjections from Oz as only a little brother can add, this story is sure to captivate young readers with its humor, side notes, and dino danger.
 
J. J. Johnson captures some of the struggles of youth—bullying, annoying (yet lovable) friends, and parental relationships.
As someone long out of the middle grade age range, I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and look forward to more adventures with Iggy and Oz. This is definitely one I would encourage young readers to pick up (or parents of young reader to maybe pick up for them. I mean, if you need ideas for Christmas gifts, you can’t go wrong with an entertaining book that is clean, entertaining, and teaches a lesson about telling the truth, can you?).
