OLDER FICTION
Oppel, Kenneth

Every Hidden Thing

(2) YA In the late-nineteenth-century Badlands, Samuel and his self-taught paleontologist father hope to beat out dinosaur-fossil-hunting competitor Professor Cartland of Yale and his daughter Rachel. Oppel's tale is part Western adventure--full of sabotage, double-crosses, and Indian encounters--part social commentary on the times. Oppel explains he's taken pains to accurately portray the Sioux and Pawnee characters and the white scientists' unenlightened attitudes.
