Tumblehome Launches New Book - Menace in the mist

Top Quote Who knew that an unexpected vacation at a Maine resort could involve so much more than sea and sand and fog? Join 12-year-old Cally and her new step-cousin Giles in their week-long investigation as they take on Big Oil and Gas in search of the the cause of a poisoned water supply. More than they bargained for? Oh, then you must meet Cally and Giles. End Quote
  • Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) February 24, 2022 - Tumblehome Books today announced the 3/2 worldwide launch of Menace in the mist for readers aged 9-12 by author Janet Wylie. A fast-paced story about friendship, adventure and danger, cousins Cally and Giles investigate the cause of environmental hazards hidden in the Maine landscape, and in working together, also discover ways forward in their difficult, personal lives.

    In Menace in the Mist Cally and Giles act as citizen scientists - proving that science does not have to be carried out in laboratories. By definition citizen science is the involvement of the public, individual people, in scientific research, whether community-driven or global. Author Janet Wylie hopes to inspire legions of new citizen scientists with this book.

    Wylie is a developmental biologist by training and a mother by nature. She enjoys writing for kids way more than writing to publish data. She hopes to inspire kids’ love of reading as well as to explore the real-world challenges kids face in a world of growing environmental and personal problems. She lives in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Wyliewords dot com.
