Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, an extraordinary circle of fossilists struggled to make sense of a mysterious, prehistoric world--a world they had to piece together from the fossilized and often fragmentary remains of animals never before seen. In this transporting, seamlessly written book, Christopher McGowan takes us back to a time when geology and paleontology were as young and vibrant as genetic engineering is today. The nineteenth-century pioneers of these new disciplines were an eccentric lot, from different social classes and sexes, with a range of motivations in fossil hunting. These "Dragon Seekers" sought to persuade a populace raised on a literal interpretation of Genesis that the ground they walked was once a very frightening and unfamiliar place. A sweeping narrative history, The Dragon Seekers shows how these remarkable characters forever changed our interpretation of the world and its inhabitants.

Book excerpt: Fablehaven meets How to Train Your Dragon in this action-packed fantasy about a young boy and girl who become reluctant allies when caring for a baby dragon—the first in brand-new duology! Twelve-year-old Bryn has always dreamed of becoming a Seeker, just like her dad. Only the Seekers are allowed to journey from their small village into the fantastical, untamed wilderness of their island known as the Wild Realm. Once there, they obtain magical items for the village and use magic to protect and heal the incredible creatures native to the Realm. When one of the elderly Seekers retires, leaving a vacant position, Bryn knows this may be her chance. There’s just one problem: Only boys have ever been Seekers. And the training master makes it clear he will not be training a girl. But then Bryn’s biggest rival for the Seeker position, a boy named Ari, shows up at her door. He reveals the baby dragon he’s been hiding, and the two strike a deal—if Bryn helps care for the dragon, Ari will share all his training with her. Even as the two bond over their love of magical animals and their secret trips into the Wild Realm, Bryn doesn’t completely trust Ari’s motives. Especially as she suspects Ari may know more than he’s letting on about the enemy clan stirring up unrest in their village. When all these secrets come to a head and the stakes are at their highest, Bryn realizes it’s up to her to save her family…and the Realm.

Book excerpt: The Dragon Seekers: the dramatic story of how a group of nineteenth-century fossilists forever changed our view of history - and laid the groundwork for the Darwinian revolution.Set in nineteenth-century England, The Dragon Seekers chronicles the amazing discoveries of the first fossilists, whose geological and paleontological findings led to the discovery of the age of dinosaurs. The intriguing cast of characters includes Mary Anning, a working-class woman who became one of the most successful fossil collectors of all times; Thomas Hawkins, another amateur collector who "improved upon" fossils in order to increase their market value; the eccentric William Buckland, discoverer of the world's first dinosaur (Megalosaurus), and Richard Owen, an expert anatomist, who synthesised the discoveries of the age and ultimately coined the word dinosaur in 1842.

For many years, the dragon has controlled the people and told them lies about the King. The King needs someone to go to the village Greed and tell the people the truth. The King needs someone to conquer the great dragon and rescue the people. The King needs...an army! "It looks like that gate is the only entrance to the village; I'll try to sneak around the dragon..." The Children called after him in anxious whispers, “Be careful, Seeker!” Seeker moved bravely and carefully toward the dragon. Closer and closer he went, until he was almost close enough to touch the great beast. Seeker held his nose and tried to keep from getting sick. The dragon’s breath was terrible and he smelled as though he had never, ever brushed his teeth; and never, ever taken a bath. Seeker pinched his nose tightly and began to step toward the entrance gate of the village. But suddenly... ...The dragon stood up with a loud and vicious ROAR!
