Mum had weird food cravings when she was pregnant with me. At one time, it was for char siew bao. Another time, it was for cookies-double chocolate macadamia nut. She ate so many cookies in the nine months carrying me that when the doctor asked what she was naming her baby boy as I was being pushed out of her womb, she shouted, "He will be famous one day. I will call him Amos!"

We landed and started walking around. Suddenly a huge dust storm blew up. Ms. Frizzle said dust storms on Mars can last for months. They may cover the whole planet. We scrambled back on the bus and headed out!

On the way back, as we were waiting at a red light, something amazing happened. The bus started tilting back, and we heard the roar of rockets. "Oh dear," said Ms. Frizzle. "We seem to be blasting off!"

Allosaurus darted close and took a big bite. Then it moved back and waited. Stegosaurus got weaker and weaker. It had become food for Allosaurus.

A sudden downpour caught us by surprise. But the dinosaurs went right on eating. We ran for the bus, and Frizzle called, "Get ready to go forward in time, kids!"

The hand on the clock started moving backward: one hour back...one day back...one year back... outside the windows, the desert was whizzing by. One thousand years...one million years... "We're on our way to the time of the Maiasaura. Hang on class!" yelled the Friz.
