Bookroo's summary
Sal dreams of ditching her human life to become a Tyrannosaurus Rex, defying her brother's doubts. Initially, being a dinosaur is thrilling, but Sal soon discovers that stomping around as a giant, loud creature makes friendship tricky. Can she find a way to be both awesome and approachable, or will her wild dreams leave her isolated? Join Sal on a whimsical journey of self-discovery and learn how to tame the beast within.
From the publisher
Being a regular old human is kind of a drag. That’s why Sal is not going to be a teacher or doctor or lawyer when she grows up. She is going to grow up to be an awesome Tyrannosaurus Rex. Her brother thinks it’s impossible, but Sal sure shows him! And in the beginning, being a T. Rex is AWESOME. But did you know that it’s kind of hard to make friends when you are a super-giant, super-loud, super-stompy dinosaur? If only there were a way for Sal to be 100% awesome, 100% of the time…
