About this item
Two thousand years ago Chinese scientists were looking for a medicine that would make them live forever. Instead, they blew up their lab and discovered gunpowder. Alfred Nobel blew up his laboratory twice before he discovered the formula for dynamite. Learn about the Apollo 13 and Challenger explosions, and the strange space explosions caused by top secret Starfish Prime. These stories may sound twisted, but they're all true tales from science!
About the Author
I love stories! I love reading them, writing them, and telling them. I was always the kid who tried to hide my library book inside my math book so I wouldn't have to stop reading. My teachers didn't really appreciate my devotion to books so I actually got in trouble for reading too much. Plus it didn't really help my math grades.I decided to write my first book when I was ten years-old. I had just finished reading a novel and I didn't like the ending so I wrote a sequel and gave it a much better ending. I've been writing ever since.Most of my favorite stories are true so I write a lot of non-fiction books, but I also like a good mystery. When I'm not writing or visiting schools I like to ride my bicycle, collect rocks, make fun crafts, and go on adventures with my husband, Darrell. I have four grown children, one spoiled teacup Yorkie, and a house that was built before the Civil War. You can read some of my stories on my blog - fabulateacher@wordpress.com
