Ordinary is what most people are and I am not. I am not ordinary at all. I am a scientist.
One stormy night, a group of villagers are struck by lightning. The
only survivor is a baby - Mary Anning. From that moment on, a spark is
lit within her.
Growing up poor but proud on the windswept
Dorset coast, Mary follows after her father, hunting for fossils
uncovered by waves and landslips: ancient creatures, turned to stone.
Ignoring other people's taunts, Mary faces danger to bring back valuable
treasures to help feed her family. But tragedy and despair is never far
away.
Mary must depend upon her unique courage and knowledge to
fulfil her dream of becoming a scientist in a time when girls have no
opportunities for such ambitions. What will happen when she makes her
greatest discovery of all...?With a factual section about Mary Anning,
her life, and the discoveries she made.
