Dana is a 9-year old girl who loves dinosaurs. Her life changes forever when she's given a Dino Field Guide, which not only teaches her new things about dinosaurs, but gives her the power to imagine dinosaurs into real life.

Dana is studying the hunting techniques of the Microraptor when she finds a mouse in the kitchen. Things gets complicated when the Microraptor accidentally gets inside and begins to hunt the very mouse Dana's trying to save.

When Dana sees a Kentrosaurus and a Stegosaurus fighting in her yard, she conducts a dino experiment to see why two dinosaurs in the same family would fight.
