Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this YA novel about a headstrong girl in the late 1800s who wants to be an archeologist, the competition to dig up “new” dinosaurs, and her first love. Have to say I didn‘t love the ending, seemed a bit forced, but still worth the read - interesting characters, even if they‘re a bit uneven at times. A sequel to come for sure.

„Die Sonne sandte lange Strahlen aus und schien alles zu verzaubern, was sie berührte.“ (S. 243) ....Wir jagen jetzt am Strand weitere.

Zögerlich schaut die Sonne durch die Wolken. Trotzdem stecke ich meine Lesernase tief hinein in das grandiose Abenteuer: neben alten Zeiten warten gewichtige Entdeckungen in diesem Buch. Dazu eine verbotene Liebe a la Romeo und Julia. Wie wird es nur enden dieses Lesehighlight? .... hoffentlich nie....

Amazing! It's was so interesting (and I'm sure a challenge) to read a newly published book about very archaic paleontologist practices. Intertwined with how love use to be just had be wrapped up. Not to mention...Kenneth Oppel ❤️ #litsyAtoZ #letterO #historicalfiction #yalit #teenlit #teenfiction #everyhiddenthing #kennethoppel #dinosaurs #1800s #paleontology #history #love

"Vom Suchen und Finden" gefällt mir schon jetzt (S.140) so sehr, dass ich es einfach schon mal empfehle ??

So I just found this book at #halfpricebooks and it sounded so interesting! I think it just shot up to the near top of my summer TBR! basically it's a teen Romeo and Juliet tale-of-two-households plus archaeology!! Sweet!! So who didn't see Jurassic Park as a kid and not want to dig up Dino bones? I know I did! So yeah, I can't wait to get into this one! 🤣

Kenneth Oppel is quickly becoming my favorite author. I love the palaeontology angle of Every Hidden Thing. Any book about dinosaurs will have me interested! I enjoyed the complicated relationships between Rachel and Samuel and their very flawed fathers. It was a lot of fun to read all the drama and intrigue. But I had a tough time buying into the romance. It has a few flaws, but is a really great book I can easily recommend.

Loved this story. So different from lots of YA historical fiction. No damsels in distress here. Enjoyed this so much more than The Boundless. Plus, it was my first eBook. I won a new Nook from Barnes & Nobel and this was my first purchase.

Finally finished a gosh darn book! And boy was this a good one: warring paleontologists, feminist heroine, forbidden romance, Native Americans sticking it to the white man, and some truly beautiful passages...loved it ❤️

Five YA books set in the wild west. All of these books are really fun. I especially loved Every Hidden Thing because I'm so intrigued by The Bone Wars.

A fun night with #kennethoppel! Inspired my boys!!

This was such a cute story. I loved learning more about the expeditions required to find bones, the process in how they're named then the forbidden romance, the duelling scientists with a bitter rivalry. Such a good book!

Solid YA historical fiction on a unusual topic. At Reading Rants: http://www.readingrants.org/2016/09/04/every-hidden-thing-by-kenneth-oppel/

Romeo and Juliet meet Indiana Jones in this epic tale that combines the hunt for a dinosaur skeleton, bitter rivalries and a forbidden romance.

Got my hands on this at the International Literacy Association conference today! Thx Simon & Schuster!

Ups and downs. Quick reading with a few eye rolls in some spots but some decent plotting elsewhere.
