Boy, With Accidental Dinosaur, Ian McDonald (Tordotcom 978-1-250-41953-8, $17.99, 118pp, tp) February 2026. No one can accuse Ian McDonald of being predictable, but I’m pretty sure no one saw a dinosaur rodeo coming, either. Even so, Boy, with Accidental Dinosaur isn’t quite what it at first seems. It does in fact deal with a young man who dreams of becoming a buckaroo, a kind of dinosaur-riding cowboy in the Wild West, but it’s not really YA.
