Publisher’s Weekly
“It takes a dinosaur-themed roller coaster to show a kid that he has the right stuff... Newcomer Adams’ story unspools in couplets with plenty of heavy-duty action words (”Lurching, tilting up again/ Jerking, rumbling round the bend)... it’s a triumph that youngsters won’t mind reliving several times over.”

A HOME FOR SALTY
Written by Stephanie Stuve Bodeen. Illustrated by Diane Adams.
Salty, the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse, has a problem. It’s getting harder and harder to find a place to live.

And what exactly is this stuff called Pickleweed?

ZOOM!
Written by Diane Adams. Illustrated by Kevin Luthardt.
A timid young boy joins his eager father for a ride on a roller coaster. After zigzagging through the line, the pair boards the DinoCoaster for a fast-paced ride that takes them lurching and tilting upside down, round and round. When the roller coaster finally comes to a stop, the excited young boy is ready for another ride…but his queasy father has other ideas.
