Synopsis:
Jack, aged 12, doesn't need his sister's help with his homework, even though he is failing school badly. In fact he doesn't need anyone's help, he just wants everyone to leave him alone, to play with his beloved dinosaurs. Jack falls asleep building his model T-Rex, and meets NILUS THE SANDMAN. Using stolen dream dust the boy transports himself into a prehistoric world where dinosaurs rule. Despite dangers everywhere the boy stubbornly refuses all help from Nilus, who has followed him, and some friendly rodent inhabitants of the place. Events transform Jack into a T-Rex and he revels in being King of the Universe, until a comet arrives, obscuring the sun and the pre-historic world starts to die. Trapped by his huge bulk in the path of an oncoming glacier, Jack is offered help by the tiny rodent-like creatures, the Multituberculata, but is he too proud and stubborn to accept it?
