If you like kidlit and you like science,
The Middle Grade Science Project is for you. Elaine Vickers profiles middle-grade books with science content, and lists some ideas for books that might appeal to readers who like the profiled book. She also has links to websites with related science content, as well as a whole post a little later in the week with a science activity.
Last week she
profiled The Reinvention of Edison Thomas and had
a molecule-building activity with gumdrops. There's also an
interview with the author (that would be me) and a giveaway. If you want to enter the giveaway, do it soon. Entries must be submitted by December 5.
