This Alabama author's books are well-researched and just gross enough to get middle graders excited about science! They include "Something Rotten: a Fresh Look at Roadkill," "Who gives a Poop? Surprising Science from One End to the Other," and "SICK! The Twists and Turns Behind Animal Germs." I was fortunate to meet her at the Highlights Non-Fiction Nature Retreat last week, where she led a small group of us out at night to watch for Perseid meteors and pointed out constellations. And there were lightning bugs, which I hadn't seen since I was a little girl in Massachusetts! Find her name in my recent blog posts about my time at Highlights.
