Reviews

[Amy Mancini · Rating 2 out of 5]

Written as a paired read for non-fiction, I could see this book appealing to students with a love of science. The mystery is light and the science content is awkwardly inserted into conversations. I do like that the main characters were all people of color, including the paleontologist Dr. Roberts.
