Jamie Morgan sprinted along the pebbly beach of Dinosaur Cove to meet his new best friend.

"Have you got everything?" asked Tom Clay, jumping off the rock he was standing on. "I brought my binoculars and my compass."

Jamie took off his backpack and rummaged inside for his fossil-hunting equipment. "I've got my pocket knife, my notebook, and the Fossil Finder." Jamie's brand-new hand-held computer had all sorts of prehistoric information at the touch of a few buttons. "I brought some sandwiches too," Jamie said. "Cheese and Grandpa's homemade pickles. It'll blow your head off!"

"I can't wait to get back to our cave," Tom said, hopping from one foot to another.

"You mean you can't wait to get back to the dinosaurs!" Jamie said, as the two friends hurried down the beach. Jamie had met Tom for the first time yesterday and together they had discovered Dinosaur Cove's biggest secret: an amazing world of living dinosaurs! First, Jamie had found a set of fossilized dinosaur footprints, and then the footprints had transported them to a place where dinosaurs still roamed the earth.

"It's hard keeping something so big a secret," Tom confessed. "My big brother kept asking me what I did yesterday."

"I know!" Jamie replied. "My dad got a huge triceratops skull fossil for the museum this morning, and I kept thinking about the real dinosaurs we saw yesterday."

Jamie and his dad had moved in with his grandpa in the old lighthouse on the cliffs, and Jamie's dad planned to open a dinosaur museum on the ground floor. Jamie's dad knew more about dinosaurs than anyone, but he didn't know the colors of a T-Rex like Jamie and Tom did!

"I forgot to tell you!" Jamie panted as they scrambled up the steep path towards their secret cave. "I bought some colored pencils with me. I thought we could make a map of Dino World in my notebook."

"Good idea," Tom said. "We'll be like real explorers, charting unknown territories!"

"And seeing lots of dinosaurs!"

They reached the tall stack of boulders that led to their secret cave and climbed up using cracks in the rock. From the top of the boulders, Jamie could see his grandfather fishing out in the cove.

Jamie quickly slipped into the dark cave, but Tom paused at the hidden entrance. "What if Dino World's not there?" he asked.

"What if we dreamt it?" Jamie laughed, and the sound echoed around the cave.
