Maisie Jones and the Dinosaur Bones is a fun, feminist, fossil-filled adventure that tells all young children: follow your dreams and you'll find a way.
Maisie Jones lives by the sea, and can always be seen out searching the shore for treasures that she sells in her family's fossil shop. She wants to make a big discovery – to find her very own dinosaur bones. But when she does find something spectacular, a stuffy man in a top hat steals her discovery, and tries to claim it for himself! The race is on – Maisie must track down the pompous professor and make sure everyone knows that it was Maisie Jones who found the dinosaur bones!
Inspired by the real-life story of paleontologist Mary Anning, and with a bonus page all about her discoveries at the back, Maisie Jones and the Dinosaur Bones is the perfect book for treasure hunters and big dreamers.
