In 1811, twelve-year-old Mary Anning spends her days searching for fossils, a passion she learned from her father. But when her father mysteriously disappears, leaving behind a cryptic drawing, Mary sets out to uncover its meaning and help her family. Her search leads to unexpected discoveries, new friendships, and an adventure that marks the beginnings of paleontology.
