A few of my highlights from the Chaos Theory Junior Novelization

Some scenes in the junor novel were altered for the show and I wanted to share some of my favorites:

Darius Moments.

Darius said this after he removed the barbed wire from the Pachyrhinosaurus’s foot.

Darius didn’t get a Brooklynn flashback in the show or novelization, but he does watch a video of them together here instead of the Nublar Six news report. I heard this was a deleted scene, so it was cool to see what it could have been like here, along with another voicemail Darius sent Brooklynn.

A more detailed version of Darius telling the rest of the Camp Fam about how he fell in love with Brooklynn and how he felt it was clear she didn’t feel the same about him.

Ben Moments.

Ben’s European girlfriend is said to be from Italy specifically. Italy is near Malta. Could this mean anything for the plot going forward?

Ben corrects Dudley Cabrera after he calls Ben, Yaz, and Sammy “kids”. I thought it was funny.

Brooklynn’s Death.

The book tells a new version of Brooklynn’s death that includes the Atrociraptors showing up. I was a little confused about their involvement on that night, but this clears it up.

Sammy Moment.

Sammy’s small glimpse of Brooklynn was not included, but it is said why she has her jacket.

Sammy and Yasmina Moment.

Sammy and Yaz’s phonecall goes a little differently. Sammy decides not to tell Yaz why she and Ben are coming to see her and instead of telling her they hit a snag like in the show, Sammy says “I love you” and hangs up after Yaz does the same. Sammy did not want to get Yaz worried about dinosaurs at all, even though they were being hunted.

Kenji Moment.

A line where Kenji calls Daniel Kon “the literal devil”, which was not in the show, is included here. It makes his emotional reaction to his father’s death even more impactful.

Some other things.

These aren’t all the differences between the show and the novelization, but some of my favorites. Some other things I remember were Kenji mentioning the Camp Fam having a group chat where he found out Brooklynn and Darius had plans on that night. The large dinosaur tracks in the road in episode 1 are said to be Apatosaurus tracks. Ceratosaurus shows up around the point of episode 9, but just as a background dinosaur. Baryonyx replaced Suchomimus in all of its scenes (or Suchomimus replaced Baryonyx in all of its scenes, rather, since the novelization seems to be an early version of what we see in the show). Darius incorrectly calls the Atrociraptors “Velociraptors” during their first encounter, but later corrects his mistake.

That’s all from me!
