"Save the People is engaging, funny, affecting and delightful.
You'll never have more fun learning science." --Stuart Gibbs,
bestselling author of the Spy School series "Serious science and
great gags, with a bit of hope thrown in." --Steven Sheinkin,
bestselling author of Bomb and Fallout An action-packed look at
past, present, and future threats to humanity's survival--with an
ultimately reassuring message that humans probably have a few more
millennia in us. Scientists estimate that 99% of all species that
have ever existed are now extinct. Whoa. So, it's not unreasonable
to predict humans are doomed to become fossil records as well. But
what could lead to our demise? Supervolcanos? Asteroids? The sun
going dark? Climate change? All the above?! Humans--with our big
brains, opposable thumbs, and speedy Wi-Fi--may be capable of
avoiding most of these nightmares. (The T. rex would be super
jealous of our satellites.) But we're also capable of triggering
world-ending events. Learning from past catastrophes may be the
best way to avoid future disasters. Packed with science, jokes, and
black and white illustrations, Save the People! examines the
worst-case scenarios that could (but hopefully won't) cause the
greatest mass extinction--our own!
Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Wayside School will love this
first book in a new, off-the-wall middle grade series about two
boys--one with the heart of a lion and the test scores of a baked
potato, the other a shy boy genius in a bunny suit--finding their
strengths and true friendship.Sixth-grader Alley Katz is innocently
trying to help a bunch of kindergarteners when the burrito hits the
fan. Literally. A burrito. A ceiling fan. A hail of beans. Now he
has to get an A on his science test or he'll be transferred to the
dreaded Steggles Academy. An A seems impossible! Alley is kind,
intrepid, and well-liked, but for some reason he doesn't get graded
on any of that. So the principal assigns a peer mentor to help:
Rex, a fourth-grade genius who wears a bunny suit. Alley is totally
in favor of both bunnies and fourth graders, but he doesn't need
Rex. He has his own foolproof plan to ace the test. Still, Rex is
determined to fulfill his duty as Alley's mentor--and he may need
some help of his own. One boy needs to stay in school, the other
needs to get through it. Can this odd couple save the day--and each
other?

A fun-filled, highly illustrated, science-based exploration into
one of the universe's greatest mysteries--does life exist beyond
Earth?--from bestselling and award-winning author Stacy McAnulty.
Spoiler: Scientists haven't discovered life beyond Earth, not even
a single teeny-tiny organism. But there's a whole lot of outer
space, and humans have searched only a fraction of a fraction of
it. So do you believe in the possibility of life out there? Or do
you think Earth is perfectly unique in its ability to grow
organisms? Where Are the Aliens? takes readers on a journey of
theories and discoveries, from the big bang and primordial soup, to
how the ancient Greeks considered the cosmos, to the technology
used today to listen and (possibly!) communicate with far-off
exoplanets. Packed with playful illustrations and fascinating
factoids, this is the perfect book for anyone who has ever looked
up and asked, "What's out there?"
