Korean-Canadian Peter Lee is looking forward to his summer vacation, mostly because his parents have agreed that the family trip will involve a stop in Drumheller, Alberta, where the 10-year-old dinosaur fanatic will get to take part in a junior dig at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Unfortunately, the car trip from Vancouver to Alberta is not pleasant: Peter, his younger sister L. B., his parents, and his grandparents are all traveling together in one van, and Hammy (his grandmother) is exhibiting troubling signs of dementia. Things get worse when Peter suffers an asthma attack (due to the extreme heat, dust, and dryness at the site), forcing him to leave the dig early and convincing him that he’s not cut out for paleontology. Then, later in the summer, Hammy is hurt in an automobile accident, prompting both grandparents to move in with the family and resulting in Peter and L. B.’s having to share a bedroom.

Peter lees was a very good book! It always had a picture in my mind and wasn’t confusing to figure out. It was about a boy named Peter and he loves dinosaurs! Him and his family went on a trip to the tyrrell museum and they stoped at lots of pit stops on the way that were cool to here about. I would recommend this book to 8-12 age readers
I enjoyed Peter lee but at the beginning of the book when they were playing soccer, it was a little bit hard to understand and then POW! They’re talking about a ball hitting some guys butt and then all of the sudden their is peters sister on the play ground in the rain.
