Description:
Gaia Girls is an award-winning middle reader fiction series (two of seven planned books have been published) that incorporates real-world earth science, ecology, sustainability, and environmental issues within a fantastical tale. The hidden codes in the illustrations tie into online games. The author supplies classroom-ready games and puzzles and will launch an online learning platform called Gaia Quest. The books create an amazing platform to discuss sustainability and connect with science and English-language-acquisition curriculum. Author Lee Welles does school visits, virtual visits, and book-club call-in.
