Description
With a stroke of magic, Alex, Ella, and Layla jump into a painting and travel back in time to discover the truth about a historical figure.
This book features the historical figure Mary Anning, the female paleontologist whose findings on England’s Jurassic Coast contributed to the theory of evolution put forth by Charles Darwin and uncovered secrets about dinosaurs. However, many of her discoveries were unfairly credited to male paleontologists because of her gender, and as a result, history has overlooked her pioneering role.
