A wonderful story letting us into the imaged days and nights of this curiosity seeing family from our real life history! You'll fall in love with little Mary and her never-say-die spirit that carries her from the classroom to her heart's desire, in search of the fabled monster's remains. Was it the popular choice? No sir... but what's right for one may not always match the status quo and that, my friends, can lead us to discoveries and dreams come true we've only dared imagine. A great addition to your reading list for a bit of edutainment this summer. ( )
