    “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 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.

    With a witchfinder skulking about town, gifted healer Ann and a young Isaac Newton must be careful not to draw too much attention in this high-stakes story from Lindsay Galvin. 
    Will the discovery of the Elixir of Life lead to a death sentence for a talented young healer? 
    Ann Storer has inherited her grandmother’s mysterious gift of healing, which she shares through the special tinctures she dispenses in her family’s apothecary shop. When she combines her talents with the genius of a young Isaac Newton, recently arrived to board above the shop, the two create an incredible elixir with seemingly unlimited powers. 
    But seventeenth-century England is a dangerous place to display any special abilities, and Ann must hide all evidence when witchfinder Abel Geach arrives in town. 
    So when the plague starts to run rife and those she loves are in danger, will Ann risk everything to help them? 
    Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    My name is Victoria Howard and when Mom died just shy of my tenth birthday, nothing could have prepared me for the pain of dealing with my loss. Imagine my surprise when just a few weeks later, on my tenth birthday, Mom had planned a special gift to be delivered to me. 
    A puppy named Sir Percival Howard. A Chinese Pug. As if he could ever replace my Mom! 
    I was angry with my mother. So angry I was determined not to let Percy into my heart. He wasn't a substitute to make me forget my loss. As hard as I tried to ignore this pesky puppy, he just didn't get the hint. 
    But as time went on, something changed, maybe I changed. And I came to realize Percy was the one who would see me through those changes. Maybe it was Mom's plan all along to provide me with a companion to help lessen the loneliness and insecurities that come with growing up. Maybe Percy was part of that plan. So, despite my earlier resolve to reject my puppy, I allowed Percy to worm his way into my life, and into my heart. My rewards came in ways I could never have expected. Thanks, Mom.
