Cheryl Blackford's debut novel is set in England during World War
II and told from the dual perspectives of ten-year-old Lizzie, a
homesick girl evacuated from bomb-blitzed Hull to the remote
Yorkshire valley, and Elijah, a local gypsy boy. When Lizzie
discovers an abandoned baby, her dangerous friendship with Elijah
is put to the test. Will Lizzie be able to find the baby's parents?
And if she does, can she and Elijah remain friends in a world
clouded by prejudice and fear?
“This in-depth, beautifully illustrated biography of Mary Anning
sings with the passion and perseverance of the woman herself, who
from girlhood on scoured the shifting cliffs of her native Dorset
to dig out prehistoric mysteries and make sense of them—altering
forever our view of the past.” —Joyce Sidman, Newbery Honor
winner and Sibert Medal winner A fascinating, highly visual
biography of Mary Anning, the Victorian fossil hunter who
changed scientific thinking about prehistoric life and would become
one of the most celebrated paleontologists of all time. Perfect for
children learning about woman scientists like Ada Lovelace,
Jane Goodall, and Katherine Johnson. Mary Anning grew up on the
south coast of England in a region rich in fossils. As teenagers,
she and her brother Joseph discovered England’s first complete
ichthyosaur. Poor and uneducated, Anning would become one of the
most celebrated paleontologists ever, though in her time she
supported herself selling by fossils and received little formal
recognition. Her findings helped shape scientific thinking about
extinction and prehistoric life long before Darwin published his
famous work on evolution. With engaging text, photographs, and
stunning paleoart, Fossil Hunter introduces this
self-taught scientist, now recognized as one of the greatest
fossilists the world has ever known.
Can tanks fly? Can seaweed fuel a helicopter? Could a spy vehicle
be as small as a sparrow? Were rotting animal carcasses once used
as deadly weapons? Get the answer to these questions and many more
