In the early 1800s, very few girls were allowed to learn about science. Yet Mary Anning spent her life hunting for fossils on the cliffs of Lyme Regis, England. When she was still a girl, she and her brother found an amazing ichthyosaur skeleton--but that was only the beginning. Author Sally M.

Saroff offers a vivid portrait of Mary Anning and the fossils she loved.
