Here’s what it’s all about:
Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each other, and they’ve never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before the cousins were born. So, when they receive letters inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they’re surprised.
Their parents agree: not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother’s good graces. But when Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah arrive, it’s immediately clear that the family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn’t over—and this summer, the cousins will learn everything . . . if they can survive the season.

Fans of Nathan Hale will love this history of Earth in a comic book format. Never has natural history been so fun!
Accuracy and humor combine as a paleontologist and a storyteller take two children through the birth of our planet and the heydays of protozoans, dinosaurs, and early mammals with unfailing enthusiasm.
The art accurately portrays prehistoric animals and landscapes, but also adds humorous touches: a google-eyed fish looks startled to be walking and the kids pop out of a tree to surprise a Brachiosaurus.
The expertise of biologist author Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu and illustrator Adriene Barman, the creator behind Creaturepedia, makes for a science read you can trust.
