Saurus Street 5: A Plesiosaur Broke My Bathtub




Saurus Street is just like any other street . . . except for the dinosaurs!

Saurus Street is just like any other street . . . except for the dinosaurs!

Thomas’s grandparents house is ancient. There’s no electricity, and the toilet is a creaky old cabin outside. Thomas is terrified of that toilet. There's something down there . . .

And when Thomas gets too close and falls down the hole, he discovers a secret that will change Saurus Street forever.

Plunging pterosaurs, squiggling squid and massive meteors are all part of the greatest adventure since the Cretaceous period!

He likes to write books that are two parts funny, three parts exciting and one part educational, with a dollop of fantastical thrown in. He first started making up stories for his two young sons when they were living by the beach in Tasmania, and 17 published books later, he’s still going strong!

Nick has 4 series of books on the shelves, all for children aged 6 to 10. Saurus Street, which is about time travelling dinosaurs; Billy is a Dragon, which is about shape-shifting were-beasts; Samurai vs Ninja, which is about shuriken-filled battles; and the ‘How To’ series, which is about kids getting horribly lost in history. Nick has lived and worked in Australia, the US and Asia, and arrived back in the UK in 2015.
