Messummer's life changes when a futuristic boy stumbles into her ancient world. She must now help him front to his own time before his love for dinosaurs traps him forever.

***

Ever since her father's death, Messummer has wanted nothing more than to prove she can survive in her fragile world. She enters her valley's Great Flying Race as a rite of passage. It's a race only the bravest fliers attend. While Messummer is preparing for it one day, she meets a creature she has never seen before. His name is Daniel Matton. He stumbles into her world after a malfunction with something called a "time machine".

Fascinated by this new species, Messummer kidnaps him (not that Dan has much of a choice) and takes him on a journey like none other. Of course, that's only after Dan concludes she won't eat him.

Just when the two friends' connection begins to grow, disaster strikes. What starts as a bonding experience becomes a fight for survival.

Will Messummer and Dan escape the horrendous Tyrannosaurus Rex, or will the 11.0-magnitude earthquake swallow them before he can even try to kill them? Will Messummer find the courage to tell Dan who she truly is? Will Dan ever return front to his own time?

Above all, will their friendship survive the calamity?
