(As a side note, the cover is based on a real fossil! I feel like this is important information to share as I was initially skeptical of the cover choice and I wish it was advertised more clearly on the cover or blurb - it is in the book)
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. As always, all opinions are my own. show less
