Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rebecca L. Johnson has brought science to life in dozens of national award-winning books for children and young adults, including Zombie Makers: True Stories of Nature’s Undead, When Lunch Fights Back: Wickedly Clever Animal Defenses, and most recently, Nature's Ninja: Animals with Spectacular Skills. Her books highlight why science is such an exciting endeavor: there are no shortages of new species, remarkable adaptations, and fresh insights into life on earth. Johnson has worked with dozens of scientists in far-flung corners of the planet, including frigid polar regions, steamy tropical rain forests, and the ocean's inky-dark abyss, and bases many of her books on personal experience.

"Through my writing, I hope to show young people that the world is full of wonders, and that science is the path that leads to them."
