Mary Anning and the Grewsome Beast

This book tells the true story of a scientist named Mary Anning. The fossils she found helped invent the science of palaeontology. If you ve heard of Ichthyosaurs, Plesiosaurs or Pterosaurs you already know her work but there s so much that s been hidden or forgotten.

Here s some things you ll discover:
As a one-year-old, lightning struck Mary but it could not kill her.
When she was 12 she found the bones of a creature no one had ever seenbefore.
In her 16th year, dead people washed up on her favourite beach.
Her enemies were rich men and landslides - the first called her a liar and thesecond tried to kill her (a lot).
One of her friends often ate mice on toast.

This visual biography contains many deaths and one squirrel; a handsome puppy and 200-million-year-old poop.
