A Fossil to Die For - Hardcover

by Adam Topham (Author)

Fifteen-year-old fossil fanatic Axel is desperate to uncover a prehistoric sensation. Anything to escape his crippling insecurity and hopeless adoration for Selenga, the brilliant Mongolian girl who thinks he's a total jerk. But when Axel drags her to a forbidden, military-owned beach in search of rare fossils, they uncover something impossible... something that may turn out to be the most inconceivable scientific discovery known to humankind.

As a famous palaeontologist tries to help them understand what they've found, mysterious, unknown enemies close in fast. Armed, organized, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to keep the truth buried. Explosions, sinister threats and venomous creatures are just the beginning. Someone is tracking their every move. They don't know who. They don't know why.

As the trio race to survive, they must decide who to trust and how far they're willing to go to protect a discovery that will blow the science world apart. Because whatever they've unearthed... someone powerful will stop at nothing to control it.

A Fossil to Die For is a gripping YA mystery-sci-thriller packed with high-stakes action, sharp twists, unexpected danger, and a pulse-pounding journey into the unknown. Perfect for fans of Alex Rider, Jurassic Park, Animorphs, and high-concept YA adventures with big mysteries and bigger stakes.
