Dinosaur Hunter

Ned Chapman has long hoped to uncover a complete dinosaur skeleton. The story takes place on a Wyoming ranch in the 1880s, where Ned notices ancient bones on his father's land. That find draws him into the cutthroat circle of professional bone hunters, who are so determined to secure the finest fossils that they will go to great lengths to get ahead of one another.

The book centers on the early days of fossil collecting in the American West, following a boy who becomes part of this competitive world.
