Recensione:

"A quirky wonder about truth, perseverance, and the vagaries of fame. In Melville, Kansas, located at the geographic center of the country, an unnamed 11-year-old-boy discovers a fossil unlike any ever excavated before. . . .Jennings draws a delightful portrait of this remarkably determined and self-contained child." Kirkus Reviews with Pointers

"Odd yet engaging. . .it’s hard not to be impressed by the ambitious plot and the quality of Jennings’ writing." Booklist, ALA, Boxed Review
