Each book also included dinosaur fun facts, a list of dinosaur Web sites to check out, and six full-color, punch-out dinosaur trading cards!
Survivor – Jurassic Park Adventures 1
All thirteen-year-old Eric Kirby wanted was a chance to get up close with live dinosaurs. When Ben Hildebrand and his mother, Amanda Kirby, offer him the chance he took off for Isla Sorna. Eric and Ben would get to parasail over the derelict Isla Sorna island where InGen cloned their experiments for John Hammond‘s dream. Something goes terribly wrong when the boat they are parasailing on is attacked after it goes through a mysterious bank of fog, and the two fall from the sky onto the island. Eric is the only survivor after Ben dies, and he is trapped in a hostile environment where he is the prey for the prehistoric carnivores. Eric will have to use all of his wits and courage to stay alive until help arrives. This story accounts for Eric Kirby’s 8 week adventure of being stranded on InGen’s Site B island.
