Alvin Book Named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Exciting news! My upcoming release has been named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard!

Since 1929, the Guild has curated books for libraries, and about 95% of those selected go on to win awards and industry accolades. The nonfiction middle grade book, “The Last Unexplored Place on Earth: Investigating the Ocean Floor with Alvin the Submersible,” will be released in fall 2023 from Feiwel and Friends, a Macmillan imprint. Having selected it as a Gold Standard, the Guild will then distribute copies to its library members.

The story follows the creation and scientific discoveries made using a human-operated submersible named Alvin, which can carry three people to the bottom of the ocean. It has been involved with many missions for science, including the discovery of hydrothermal vents and the remains of the Titanic shipwreck. Written for middle grade readers, the book includes photos, fun facts, and directions for experiments kids can do at home.

“The Last Unexplored Place on Earth” is now available for preorder: https://amzn.to/43qJIoB.
