The Extinct Files

Are dinosaurs really extinct? Wally says no and he’s got his science project to prove it!

Student Wallace (Wally) Edwards has made a major discovery that is sure to rock the scientific community. With painstaking study and some very revealing photographs, this clever young scholar backs up his extraordinary claim that dinosaurs are alive — and living among us.

THE EXTINCT FILES: MY SCIENCE PROJECT clearly illustrates where dinosaurs of today live , what they eat, how they communicate and much, much more.

Skeptical? Wally’s findings are incredible indeed. But the hard evidence that we share the earth with dinosaurs is all within these pages. This is an explosive book — be careful where you read it. We recommend that you do so inside, with your doors locked and the curtains drawn.
