Chapter 1
The helicopter ride was one of the most exhilarating rides of my life. My little brother Timmy enjoyed it too. It almost made me forget that my parents are getting a divorce. Timmy doesn't really understand what's happening at the moment- He's only nine! I remember when I was his age, I wasn't obsessed with dinosaurs like he is. In fact, I don't really see why anybody could like dinosaurs. They've been dead for several million years. Not only is Timmy a dinosaur nut, he's also really interested in this guy named Alan Grant. I have to admit, I have a bit of a crush on him.
As we drive up to grandpa, I can see lush forestry all around. The sky's grey but I think we're going to have a good time. When we round a bend, I can see a big white building that has a skeleton picture on the doorway. I look closer and see that it's a dinosaur skeleton. A dinosaur skeleton! I don't feel as hopeful as I did before. If this has anything to do with dinosaurs I am not going to enjoy this!
