A Bone from a Dry Sea
(Corgi Childrens)
978-0552527972, RRP £3.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Alternating chapters of Then and Now, this book tracks early human life in the wonders of Li's developing consciousness of what she can make happen and the linked, slow unearthing of fossil remains in present-day. It's a fascinating, thought-provoking story about human development with fiction providing the solid base of possibility made vividly real.
