The amazing story of how the world’s greatest fossilist found her
first huge find at the age of twelve. Mary was born in 1799 in Lyme
Regis, England. Her father, a carpenter and part-time fossil
hunter, taught his children to look for fossils. When her father
injured himself and was unable to work, Mary quit school and took
up fossil hunting full-time to help support her family, a task that
became even more important when her father died, leaving the
Annings in debt. At the age of twelve, Mary, with her older brother
Joe, found what they believed to be the skeleton of a gigantic
crocodile, the Great Croc of the legends. Between dodging her rival
fossil hunter the Curiman, and the sheer work of carefully digging
out the fossil, Mary took almost a year to excavate what would
later be termed the Ichthyosaurus. Mary Anning was uneducated, poor
and a woman, but her life’s work of fossil hunting led her to
make many discoveries that influenced our understanding of
prehistoric creatures and the age of the Earth. In this triumphant
novel about scientific discovery, Monica Kulling brings Mary Anning
and her world to life for young readers. Key Text Features
