Recommended Book:
In the early 17 century, among the towering chalk cliffs of Dorset along English channel, a curiously determined girl named Mary Anning was about to change history by discovering the skull of an ichthyosaurus. This delightful fictionalized story follows her journey from a seaside fossil vendor to become a world famous authority respected by the scientific Royal Society, challenging scientific and social prejudices every step of the way. Great reading for teenagers and adults! |
