(2) 4-6 An eleven-year-old boy uncovers fossil remains in his back yard and attempts to unearth and identify his amazing find. With warm affection and wry humor, Jennings draws an endearing cast of supporting characters to help or hinder the boy in his cause. The novel is laced with droll tongue-in-cheek observations, philosophical musings, and slight hints of absurdity.
