Marie Curie: A Quest For Light – IDW Publishing releases an authorized graphic biography of an exceptional woman. Growing up in Warsaw, Marie Curie faced the hardships of her mother’s illnesses and the loss of her older sister. But her unique drive that kept her going against all odds, to understand Nature’s ways and laws, led to groundbreaking discoveries in medical theory and practice. Her research changed the world, expanding scientific understanding and creating new opportunities for women. She was the first female Nobel Prize winner, and to date, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two categories: physics and later, in chemistry. This volume makes Marie Curie’s fascinating life accessible to middle school readers and will be of special interest to girls looking at a career in STEM.

Shelby & Watts: Tide Pool Troubles – Viking Books for Young Readers takes to saving the environment one mystery at a time. Shelby and Watts are best friends, and there isn’t a mystery that they can’t solve. Shelby gets a letter from Fred the hermit crab claiming that all the shells are missing from the beach. With Shelby’s deductive skills and Watt’s scientific knowledge and trusty encyclopedia, the pair are ready to solve this and any other environmental mystery that comes their way! Younger readers will enjoy the mysteries as well as learning more about how to help the environment.
