Synopsis
Mary Anning was the world's first female paleontologist. But before she made history, she was a young girl who hunted for fossils as though they were buried treasure. And all she wants is to shed the small-minded expectations of her small town to do what she loves most in this coming-of-age story about a teen who stamped her place in history by looking even further into the past.
