Fossil Frenzy The Adamson Adventures 3 by Sandra Bennett

In the drought-stricken present, the only hope is buried in the past.Devastated by the effects of drought on the family farm, rock collector and science know-it all, Zac has a plan. Along with his squabbling siblings, animal loving, Clare and trouble making, Luke, the trio head off in search of dinosaur fossils. Not heeding weather warnings, they must seek shelter fast when two cyclones merge to descend upon the landscape. After the storm, the environment is strangely different. A lush rainforest canopy now shelters them from the humidity. A massive lake now fills the open plains. The homestead is nowhere in sight. Zac can't reach Uncle Tom on his walkie-talkie and what's worse, there's a pile of ginormous poo that no cow could possibly have left behind. Running from ankylosaurs and battling theropods, Clare befriends a giant echidna and a Demon Duck of Doom. Luke is bitten by a giant spider as time almost runs out. Sibling rivalry turns into cooperation in a bid survive.
