Praise for Bones Unearthed! (Creepy and True #3)
Photos aplenty add to the fun with views of skulls or half-excavated skeletons in situ, archaeological sites, fleshed-out portrait reconstructions, and historical images. . .Solidly researched and, no bones about it, both eye-and mind-widening.
Kirkus Reviews
Hollihan's enthusiasm for her subject comes through in her detailed conversational text.
HornBook Magazine
The high-interest back stories are compelling, weaving history, geology, biology, math, criminology, and anthropology into the narrative to provide explanations to some gory bits from history.
