Night of the Pterodactyls
The Night of the Pterodactyls
by Julian Wiles, Directed by Regina Warren
When 12-year-old Carly moves into the neighborhood, Whit thinks she may just be the ugliest girl in the world, and then she starts digging up dirt piles! Whit’s obsession with the young scientist grows, and his friends in the GAs (Gross Associates) — a guys-only secret club — harass the devil out of him. And then the tables turn when Carly digs up dinosaur eggs, and the bright lights from camera crews coax the eggs into hatching!… or do they? Carly, transformed from neighborhood noodnik to the star of the neighborhood, proves to be a hero as well. A wonderful coming-of-age script that reminds us that someone’s best qualities are always beneath the skin, and worth digging for.
