About the Author:
Kristine Carlson Asselin writes both fiction and nonfiction for children and teens. She is the author of more than fifteen children’s books for the elementary school library market and her debut YA novel ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT (Bloomsbury Spark) came out in April 2015. Kris volunteers with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, and loves Harry Potter, Doctor Who, classic rock from the 70’s and 80’s, and anything with a time travel theme. She loves doing workshops and talking about reading and writing with both kids and adults. Kristine lives in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts with her husband and daughter.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4–7—Decidedly not for the weak of stomach, these provocative surveys aim to shock—and, by and large, succeed. Top Secret Science, the mildest of the lot, covers suppressed government projects from Britain's World War II anthrax research to Area 51 and other U.S. "black ops" but only mentions Nazi concentration camp experiments in passing. The other volumes go for the (dis)gusto: from photos of a smallpox victim on the cover of Dangerous Diseases and equally disturbing views of animal vivisection in Mutant Animals to accounts of Mad Scientists who drank the vomit of a yellow fever patient, self removed an appendix, or kept a dog's head alive. Some of the photos are uncaptioned filler, but mesmerized readers are unlikely to notice, much less mind.
