{"product_id":"9780440422686","title":"The Last Synapsid","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaith, Colorado, doesn't get many visitors. But this spring, a mysterious creature is lurking on the mountain. Fiercer than a mountain lion, it's been hunting pets and horses, and leaving their remains scattered over the mountainside. But what is it, and what does it want? Only 12-year-old Rob and his best friend, 13-year-old Phoebe, are brave enough to investigate. \u003cbr\u003eWhat they find on the mountain is beyond their wildest imagination. The last synpapsid—a squat, drooly creature that looks like a dinosaur crossed with a wienerdog not only speaks English, but also claims to need Rob and Phoebe's help. He's looking for his cohort—a violent carnivore called a gorgonopsid. If he doesn't bring it back to his time, history will re-align, humans will never evolve, and Rob and Phoebe will end up as nothing more than characters in an elderly synpapsid's dream.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011577299184,"sku":"9780440422686","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780440422686_p0.jpg?v=1763702661","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780440422686","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
