For his degree show he made a forty-foot-long, self-assembled dinosaur skeleton out of MDF. After graduating, he took over from the legendary children's TV presenter Tony Hart writing and co-presenting the BBC TV show SMart . This grew into three spin-off series and touring live shows. After this, Jay Jay turned his attention to a career in commercial art for brands such as Sony, Adidas, and Levis; and started his own custom-made deluxe trucker cap brand, Lucky Seven Caps. In 2010 he returned to his favourite subject, dinosaurs, and exhibited his supersaurs sculptures in Beverly Hills, LA. The 80,000 square-foot space was filled with 15 full-sized supersaurs. With Jamie Oliver, he co-created the Dinersaur Diner, in Piccadilly Circus, London. Jay Jay lives in Oxfordshire with his family.

In this world, mankind lives side by side with supersaurs, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in conflict. Different species of supersaurs are farmed like cattle, ridden like horses, and mistreated, experimented on and worshipped around the world, just like other animals. This is the world that thirteen-year-old Bea Kingsley and her grandmother live in. Bea has many questions: what happened to her explorer parents, who disappeared when she was just a baby? Why has her grandmother, Bunty, brought Bea to the remote Indonesian islands of Aru, unexpectedly and without warning? And who is the native boy they meet, extraordinarily living in the wild, and being brought up by secretive, shy and bird-like supersaurs? Could these intriguing developments be something to do with tracing the mystery of her parents' disappearance? And could the journey be a terrible mistake? As it is on the islands of Aru that Bea, her grandmother, and their protector and friend Theodore Logan, meet the dubious and dangerous Christian Hayter, who has secrets to hide along with an increasingly threatening manner . . .
