Growing up in Chicago, I was always fond of the Field Museum and the giant Trex named Sue. Though I always knew about her, I never knew the story. So happy to read this and learn about the amazing and dramatic history behind the 12 trex ever found. This book provides a well researched look into the discovery and then following 4 year court battle for the dinosaur bones.

So excited for this Half Priced Books Haul. Got a couple fantasy books that have been on my wish list for a while, some really interesting nonfiction that I‘m looking forward to following along with the audiobook and the Tyrannosaurus Sue. That last book just makes my Chicago heart so happy. It‘s about Sue at the Museum of Science and Industry.
