Rampage at Waterloo: The First Book of the Battlesaurus Duology

Fifteen year old Willem lives in hiding in a small Belgian village on the edge of the great Sonian Forest. Willem and his mother have been living in secret for most of his life, since his father, a famous magician, fell out of favour with the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.It is a world not much different from our own, in which small 'saurs' are a part of everyday life. Some are farmed, some are pets, others, more dangerous are avoided. There are rumours of even greater 'saurs' roaming the uncharted islands of the Americas.When a girl from the village is killed, it becomes obvious that there are hidden terrors in the forest and that they are connected with Napoleon's plans to conquer Europe.But Willem has a secret that could interfere with the emperor's plans and Napoléon will stop at nothing to find him.War is coming, and young Willem is no longer safe, for Gaillemarde is just a stone's throw from the fields of Waterloo -- fields which will soon run red with blood.* WINNER of the Young Adult section of the New Zealand Book Children's Awards* Shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards* A Junior Library Guild SelectionRead more
