Synopsis

The Wollestonecraft Girls embark on their most important case yet—the famed dinosaur fossil hunter Mary Anning is being blackmailed. Her precious dog has been snatched and the kidnappers are demanding that Miss Anning authenticate some fake dinosaur bones up for auction at the British Museum in order to get him back. Ada and Mary have just three days to track down the fossil fakers, find the dog, and save the integrity of science!

The game is truly afoot in this quirky caper involving blood-sucking leeches, an asthmatic pug, smoke bombs, secret elevators, diabolical disguises, and wicked word-play.

3.5 stars This was the perfect listen for my platelet donation and I loved it until the end when it seemed to end abruptly. I mean, the mystery was solved, so that wasn't the issue. But everything was happening so quickly at the end that I didn't realize when I actually reached the end. I had to go b......more
