The Bone Wars by Erin S. Evan

4.0

Unique fossils, mysterious secret societies and a mismatched group of fossil hunters on a mission to prove that they did really find what they found. High school student Molly Wilder is excited to spend her summer as an intern at a fossil dig. She discovers something special but before the team can identify their strange fossil, it is stolen. A wild chase follows as the they start hunting for more evidence of this species.

I really enjoyed this book! It was fast-paced and fun and full of interesting twists and turns. As an ecologist with some knowledge of paleontology, I loved all the details around the field itself but also the history of paleontology. While I liked the different points-of-view, they weren't indicated well and it took a while to figure out who was narrating which section. I loved the characters and the plot and I am looking forward to the next book!
