My Mastodon – by Barbara Kerley, illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen
Step into a home like no other—part family dwelling, part natural history museum.
Sybilla Peale lives surrounded by fascinating specimens collected from around the world, but her heart belongs to one extraordinary companion: a towering mastodon skeleton her father discovered on an expedition. When her brother plans to take the mastodon to London, Sybilla’s love and loyalty are tested in ways that reveal the power of both imagination and selflessness.
Inspired by the true 19th-century Peale family, My Mastodon beautifully blends history, art, and wonder in a tale about connection, sacrifice, and the magic of discovery.
