An expedition into Dinotopia’s forbidden empire

Professor Denison and his dinosaur companion, Bix, travel toward Chandara, an empire they have been summoned to visit. After losing the emperor’s invitation, they must cross the border penniless and in disguise. Their route opens onto an imagined world of striking combinations: a village made from ships set upright, a Brachiosaurus equipped for firefighting, and an Allosaurus caring for its young. The book pairs the adventure with full-color paintings, cutaway views, and mechanical diagrams, making the sights and designs of Dinotopia part of the experience. This standalone sequel also includes a behind-the-scenes featurette about the work’s creation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in fantasy adventures featuring humans and dinosaurs.

Book overview

Professor Denison, the intrepid 19th-century explorer, is back! Some time ago, the professor discovered a lost island where humans and dinosaurs dwell in harmony. Now the professor and Bix, his dinosaur companion, have been summoned to the forbidden empire of Chandara. But when they lose their invitation from the emperor, the adventurers must cross the border penniless and in disguise. A vivid narrative, accompanied by enchanting illustrations, traces their journey and its spectacular sights: a village composed of three ships propped up on end, a 50-foot-tall Brachiosaurus outfitted for firefighting, an Allosaurus tending its hatchlings, and other memorable scenes.
A stand-alone sequel to the first two Dinotopia books, Journey to Chandara offers the perfect introduction to James Gurney's fantasy world for readers of all ages. Filled with magnificent full-color paintings, cutaway views, and mechanical diagrams, this newly expanded deluxe edition includes a behind-the-scenes featurette filled with rare insights from the author/illustrator.
