Description
Dinosaurs fight for freedom and survival in book two of this action-packed middle-grade series.
Battle rages on between the two surviving dinosaur kingdoms.
Eleri and his fellow outcasts are searching for evidence to prove that the carnivores have manipulated the herbivore kingdoms into war, so they can feast on the slain. But soon, the friends must flee from a pack of raptors and become trapped inside the Fire Peak: the volcanic heart of the dreaded Carrion Kingdom.
Can the outcasts escape and gather proof of the Carrion Kingdom’s vicious plans in one fell swoop?
The Deadlands: Trapped continues the thrilling adventures of Eleri and his friends, blending action and intrigue in a fight for survival.

About the Author
Skye Melki-Wegner is an Arts/Law graduate from Melbourne. A lifelong fan of adventure stories, she has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pen.
Over the years, Skye has worked in a wide variety of jobs — from selling popcorn at a cinema to analysing data for a government department. Her favourite job was based in a museum with a dinosaur display, which helped to spark the idea of The Deadlands.
In her spare time, Skye devours a ridiculous amount of chocolate and fantasy literature. Skye’s YA novels include the Chasing the Valley trilogy, Agent Nomad and The Hush. The Deadlands trilogy is her middle grade debut.
