FISH IN SCHOOL: How Kids are Helping Trout is a JLG SELECTION

I was thrilled to learn that my upcoming new book FISH IN SCHOOL: How Kids are Helping Trout (Millbrook Publishing, March 2, 2027) has been selected as a Junior Library Guild book for the Spring 2027 list! The Junior Library Guild is a subscription service that brings "buzz worthy books to readers every month."

You've heard of a school of fish, but have you ever seen fish in school? Classrooms across the US are helping to raise trout. Follow along with students at two Northern California schools as they learn about trout life cycles, watch eggs hatch and develop into fry in their classrooms, and finally release the fish into local waterways. The program culminates with a tour of a local fish hatchery where trout are raised to give them a stronger chance of surviving to adulthood.

You can preorder FISH IN SCHOOL: How Kids are Helping Trout at the Lerner website after November 1, 2026.

Some of my other books that have been Junior Library Guild selections include HATCHING CHICKS IN ROOM 6 (2017), A GARDEN IN ROOM 6 (2022). YOUR SKELETAL SYSTEM (2014) and BIRDS: NATURE’S MAGNIFICENT FLYING MACHINES (2003).
