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.

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.
