Should a girl have to choose between a passion for fashion and prospecting for fossils? Not in 40 billion years!Review Quotes
"Nerds and fashionistas alike can rejoice: Natalie is the unapologetically awesome heroine we've all been waiting for! Fresh and fun, this story is a love letter to paleontology, a great example of women in STEM, and a victory for anyone who's ever wanted to change what they see in the mirror. I can't say it enough: this book is a must-read!" -Sarah Glenn Marsh, author of the Reign of the Fallen series
"Put simply, this book was exactly what I needed, it's light, but it doesn't make light of things. It's a happy story but it recognises the difficulties the characters face. It made me smile, it made me tear up, it was just...lovely." -Judith Moore, blogger
"There is much to love here: a sweet romance, a determined portrayal of women in STEM fields, an encouraging tale of self-acceptance. Teens with ambition of their own will enjoy watching Natalie blossom." -Maggie Reagan, Booklist Advanced Review
"This book brings me back to my teenage years, when I fell in love with paleontology. A fun story told with unapologetic verve, Mammoth reminds us that science must be open to anyone who has the passion and ambition to learn new things about the world. Natalie's enthusiasm and drive to follow her dreams are a great example for young people considering a career in science." -Steve Brusatte, paleontologist at University of Edinburgh and bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs
Mammoth is infused with danger, deceit, and romance...With its focus on STEM and self-acceptance, Mammoth will resonate." Catherine Thureson, Foreword Reviews
"Mammoth is one of the best contemporaries of the year. It's unique, entertaining, awesome, but most importantly: it's a representative light to the world of YA fiction."
