And so the four friends become the Black Dinosaurs, with a terrific clubhouse they build in Ziggy backyard. But when the boys try to hide their treasures, they’re swept up in a mystery more intriguing and scary than anything they could have imagined. Who could have buried a box of bones behind their clubhouse? And why is old Mr. Greene lurking around late at night, singing Dem bones gonna rise again? Trust Ziggy to come up with a daring plan to find some answers.  (112 pgs) Ages 8-12
