Once there was a clever girl who wanted to know why shells could be found in rocks so far away from the sea. But her father thought education was no use to a girl, so Joan had to leave school.

This is the remarkable true story of Joan Wiffen, a science superstar who made ground-breaking discoveries about ancient New Zealand.
