Description

Maisie Jones and the Dinosaur Bones is a fun, feminist, fossil-filled adventure that tells all young children: follow your dreams and you'll find a way, from the bestselling team behind A Dress With Pockets, Lily Murray and Jenny Løvlie. Maisie Jones lives by the sea, and can always be seen out searching the shore for treasures that she sells in her family's fossil shop. She wants to make a big discovery - to find her very own dinosaur bones. But when she does find something spectacular, a stuffy man in a top hat steals her discovery, and tries to claim it for himself! The race is on - Maisie must track down the pompous professor and make sure everyone knows that it was Maisie Jones who found the dinosaur bones! Inspired by the real-life story of paleontologist Mary Anning, and with a bonus page all about her discoveries at the back, Maisie Jones and the Dinosaur Bones is the perfect book for treasure hunters and big dreamers.

Author Biography:

Jenny Løvlie grew up in Northern Norway on Ekkerøy, a tiny peninsula sticking out into the Barents Sea, where she was the first child to be born in twelve years. Jenny studied Illustration and Animation at Kingston University in London, and graduated with a BA Hons in 2014. She draws inspiration from the wild landscapes of Scandinavia, nordic folklore and Scandinavian design. In 2019, Jenny won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for best illustrated book for The Girls, written by Lauren Ace. Her favourite things are going on adventures in her van, camping, bird-watching, cooking and reading. Lily Murray grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time making up stories. She has continued to do this in her adult life, and now writes both fiction and non-fiction books for children. Her titles include: Dinosaur Department Store and Hello Hotdog, Monet's Cat and Dinosaurium. For Macmillan she has collaborated with Julia Woolf to create Mr Badger's Christmas Wish and Little Bunny's Easter Surprise, as well as A Dress With Pockets and The Girl Who LOVES Bugs with Jenny Løvlie.
