Tracking her father down to Jurassic World was not how Mackenzie Grady planned to start her summer vacation, but desperate times called for desperate measures. And her father ignoring her calls? Desperate times. Not that he'd ever been easy to contact before, mind you, but this wasn't the Navy. He could answer her now, he just wasn't. So Mackenzie booked herself a flight and made her way to a dinosaur filled island – her dad could ignore her calls, he couldn't ignore her showing up in person.
Six months later, she was still there. Running tours, hanging out at the different exhibits, seeing the labs, organizing weekly staff movie nights; Mackenzie had made herself an invaluable member of the Jurassic family. So when Christmas break rolled around, and Claire Dearing asked her to “hang out with” her nephews while they visited, she was beyond excited — until her home turned into a war zone and she was fighting for her life against the animals she’d grown to love.
