Amazing story! I always loved reading about Mary Anning and her contribution to paleontology. Pretty much ignored for being a woman by the science community of her time, it's a wonder her legacy didn't vanish over the centuries. But lucky for us, Mary Anning and her contributions have survived and she has come to be credited for all she did! Good, well written fictional account of her life. Facts are all there though, so grade school and middle school kids will learn about her.

This was a very good account of Mary Anning's early life and first discovery in the cliffs near her home. While I have heard of Mary Anning before this was a better glimpse into her young life and would be a good introduction for younger kids. I did read it as an ebook and will be curious to see the formating and illustrations in the published copy.

Give this title to those looking for a smart female scientist. Mary Anning's story is sure to encourage additional research about her exciting discoveries and contributions to the world of fossils.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to read this one because the file didn’t work.
