Description - Every Hidden Thing by Kenneth Oppel

Somewhere in the Badlands, embedded deep in rock and sand, lies the skeleton of a massive dinosaur, larger than anything the world has ever seen. To seventeen-year-old Samuel Bolt–just kicked out of school–it’s the “Rex”, the king dinosaur that could put him and his archaeologist father in the history books, if they can just dig it out.But Samuel and his father aren’t the only ones after the Rex. For Rachel Cartland, this find could be her ticket to a different life, one where she can explore her loves of science and adventure. But if she can’t prove herself to her father on this expedition, the only adventures she’ll have to look forward to are marriage or spinsterhood.As their paths cross and the rivalry between their fathers becomes more intense, Samuel and Rachel are pushed closer together. And with both after the same prize, their budding romance seems destined to fail. But as danger looms on the other side of the hills, Samuel and Rachel are forced to make a decision. Can they find the skeleton–and with it a new life together–or will the rivalry tear them apart?
