Ever since Wences' parents died in a helicopter crash on their archeological expedition, Wences has laid off his obsession with dinosaurs. That summer was supposed to be a fun excavation project with the whole family. Instead, it ended in tragedy, leaving Wences and his brother in the care of their grandma. One day, Wences is in his backyard when he finds a mysterious object, which he quickly discovers is a dinosaur fossil. But what is a dinosaur fossil doing in Wences' backyard in Berkeley, and why does the fossil keep changing?
