Whoa. So, it's not unreasonable to predict humans are doomed to become fossil records as well. But what could lead to our demise? Supervolcanos? Asteroids? The sun going dark? Climate change? All the above?! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Humans--with our big brains, opposable thumbs, and speedy Wi-Fi--may be capable of avoiding most of these nightmares.

Before becoming an author, Stacy was a mechanical engineer (and before that--like in fourth grade--she was an aspiring astronaut). Her love of math and science is reflected in most of her books. She writes chapter books, middle-grade novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Miscalculations of Lightning Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and picture books, including the \u003ci\u003eOur Universe \u003c\/i\u003eseries, which explores space and the natural world. \u003ci\u003eSave the People \u003c\/i\u003eis her debut middle-grade nonfiction.
