Opinion:
The Garden Bone is a great fantasy book about dinosaurs. There were several things I liked about the book. The first is the originality of the story. The story doesn’t feel like it is a spin-off of a different book, and it is very unique. I also liked the plot. I felt the plot was one of the best parts of the story. The plot contained many surprises and twists which made for an interesting story.
However there is one thing I didn’t like. While it had a great plot, I felt that the pace was a bit slower than it should have been.
All in all, The Garden Bone is a great fiction book about dinosaurs. I rate this book five out of five stars and would definitely recommend it for anyone 11 to 13 years old. Have fun reading this book!
