The amazing story of a curious girl who became a pioneer in the field of entomology and scientific illustration. Maria Sibylla Merian was fascinated with insects. But when Maria was a girl in the mid-1600s, superstitions about bugs prevented most people from taking a close look. People thought bugs were evil—and anyone interested in such creatures was surely evil too. That didn't stop Maria. Filled with curiosity, she began to study and paint them. She even witnessed silkworms form cocoons and transform into moths—discovering metamorphosis! Painting and drawing as she studied, Maria pushed the boundaries of what girls were expected to do, eventually gaining recognition as one of the first entomologists and scientific illustrators. This gorgeously illustrated biography celebrates a fascinating female pioneer who broke boundaries in both the arts and sciences.

Real-life 7-year-old Sophia Spencer was bullied for loving bugs until hundreds of women scientists rallied around her. Now Sophie tells her inspiring story in this picture book that celebrates women in science, bugs of all kinds, and the importance of staying true to yourself. Makes a perfect gift for nature lovers on Earth Day and every day! Sophia Spencer has loved bugs ever since a butterfly landed on her shoulder--and wouldn't leave!--at a butterfly conservancy when she was only two-and-a-half years old. In preschool and kindergarten, Sophia was thrilled to share what she knew about grasshoppers (her very favorite insects), as well as ants and fireflies... but by first grade, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Some students bullied her, and Sophia stopped talking about bugs altogether. When Sophia's mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist to be a pen pal for her daughter, she and Sophie were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response--letters, photos, and videos came flooding in. Using the hashtag BugsR4Girls, scientists tweeted hundreds of times to tell Sophia to keep up her interest in bugs--and it worked! Sophia has since appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR, and she continues to share her love of bugs with others.

Steve and Sarah Miller—along with an American paleontologist, a couple of dwarves, a wizard, a dragon, and a gigantic bug—have set out on the quest of all time, and it’s a race against an enemy they have encountered before. The invading pirates of Perz and their ruthless Captain Flinn, have already stolen from the dragons and pilfered treasure from the subterranean dwarf cities. Now they are determined to find the second of the powerful Alchos Stones, and the Millers and their team must stop them. The search leads to an overgrown pyramid-shaped stone temple in heavy forest, where they must first find their way inside, and then unravel a series of clues through various levels to collect the coveted stone. But they discover that’s only the first step. The pirates aren’t far behind, and the inevitable clash will get really ugly. Will Steve and Sarah manage to retrieve the important stones, and will they finally chase the pirates out of Lentari for good? Newly edited and re-released! * * * Praise for Jeffrey Poole’s epic fantasy novels: “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it. Great for young and old.” - D. Estrada “There's adventure & a little humor and all the characters are just right. “ - Happy2Day “I especially liked that this story revolved around a husband and wife team, rather than being the typical “hero's journey” of an adolescent boy.” - M.L., 5 star review “… plenty of action, adventure, and romance, but is harmless enough for pre-teens to read; it is a well-told tale.” – 5 stars on Amazon “If you love wizards, dragons, griffins & such, you have got to read the Bakkian Chronicles!” – 5 stars online review
