PAMELA S. TURNER

In addition to A LIFE IN THE WILD (to be published this fall), I have four additional books in the works. THE FROG SCIENTIST (Houghton Mifflin, 2009), chronicles the work of Dr. Tyrone Hayes and his studies of the effect of pesticides on frogs. WANDERING THE DEEP BLUE: THE LIVES OF OCEAN ANIMALS (Wallker Young Readers, 2009) follows the tracks of animals in the Tagging of Pacific Predators Project. COMET CHASER (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010 I think), is an illustrated picture book about Caroline Herschel, an 18th-century woman astronomer. PROJECT SEAHORSE (Houghton Mifflin, TBD) will use the always-charming seahorse to introduce children to coral reef biology and conservation.
