Dustin Hansen was raised in rural Utah where he spent many days hiking red rock canyons that once belonged to the dinosaurs. After studying art at Snow College, Dustin began working in the video game industry, where he has been following his passions of art and writing for more than 20 years. His book on the evolution of video games, Game On!: Video Game History from Pong and Pac-Man to Mario, Minecraft and More, was released in 2016. When not writing or making video games, Dustin can often be found hiking with his family in the same canyons he grew up in, with a sketchbook in his pocket, a new idea in his mind, and a well-stocked backpack over his shoulders.
Video-game creator Hansen mashes up dinosaurs, futuristic technology, extreme sports, and other ever-popular story elements in his first novel, which launches the Microsaurs series.... Hansen's peppy cartoons provide an up-close look at all the smaller-than-life action in this high-energy escapade. --Publishers Weekly Hansen mixes fantasy, science fiction, and realistic fiction to create a fast-paced read for elementary readers. His whimsical illustrations of the dinosaurs make them appear as lovable pets. -- Booklist "This fast paced book is full of action and the delightful illustrations will attract young readers looking for a good chapter book." --School Library Connection
