(4) 4-6 Maya, thirteen-year-old daughter of anthropologists, is understandably intrigued by the chance to uncover a woolly mammoth. She accompanies her father to the Arctic under these false pretenses, and they agree to help a billionaire benefactor dig up a very different kind of mysterious being. While Quimby weaves in enticing magical elements, the uneven plot and clunky characterization may slow readers down.
