When a Victorian fossil hunter discovers a baby pterodactyl, she vows to protect him, with the help of a fellow scholar—her former fiancé—in this enchanting and transporting historical fantasy.
Join us at Brook Park Library for this exciting debut novel by a local author, Jennifer Mandula! Jennifer will discuss her debut book, The Geomagician, a fictional novel about Paleontologist Mary Anning.
Jennifer Mandula lives in Cleveland, Ohio, with her husband, three daughters, and a neurotic corgi. She first learned of the historical Mary Anning while studying for her master’s in education at the University of Oxford. In her spare time, she visits local bakeries and plans her next escape to the beach. The Geomagician is her debut novel.
Book Description: Mary Anning wants to be a geomagician—a paleontologist who uses fossils to wield magic—but since the Geomagical Society of London refuses to admit women, she’s stuck selling her discoveries to tourists instead. Then an ancient egg hatches in her hands, revealing a lovable baby pterodactyl that Mary names Ajax, and she knows that this is a scientific find that could make her career—if she’s strategic.
