Please continue to look for additions to Karen Romano Young's series, Science Fair Winners, from National Geographic. These little books are full of science project ideas (NOT only experiments!) for middle schoolers. The first book, Bug Science, is going gangbusters, and Crime Scene Science is out now, too. Coming in March: Junkyard Science, all about trash, energy, going green, and -- everybody's favorite topic -- decomposition. Book 4, Family Science (experiments on your brothers and sisters) is due in May.

I guess Tanya Lee Stone was too busy organizing Kindling Words (a fantastic writers' retreat) to get in her news, but her book Almost Astronauts got the Sibert Medal from ALA, was a YALSA nonfiction finalist, and an Orbis Pictus Honor. I think I have this right... I might have missed something. Anyway, kudos to Tanya!
