Stacy McAnulty, the bestselling
author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl and the Our
Universe series delivers an action-packed look at past extinction and current
threats to humanity's survival -- with the ultimately reassuring message that
humans probably have a few more millennia in us.
Scientists estimate that 99% of all species that have ever existed are now
extinct. 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?!
Humans—with our big brains, opposable thumbs, and speedy Wi-Fi—may be capable
of avoiding most of these nightmares. (The T. rex would
be super jealous of our satellites.) But we're also capable of triggering
world-ending events. Learning from past catastrophes may be the best
way to avoid future disasters.
Packed with science, jokes, and black and white illustrations, Save the People! examines the worst-case
scenarios that could (but hopefully won’t) cause the greatest mass
extinction—our own!
Reviews:
“Stacy
McAnulty has done the impossible: Writing a book about mass extinction that is
a joy to read. Save the People is engaging, funny, affecting and delightful.
You’ll never have more fun learning science.”―Stuart Gibbs, bestselling
author of the Spy School series
*“This book is full of dire facts, but it’s not doom and gloom. Its
lively, conversational tone with plenty of jocular asides keeps it
unintimidating and accessible…Lively writing, pertinent science, and an urgent
topic make this a must-read for all.”―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Cheeky banter wrapped around accessible science, a pages-long time
line, charts, graphs, a bibliography, and extensive chapter notes contribute to
this fresh take on saving our planet."―Booklist
"What could easily come off as an apocalyptic, science-based horror story,
author Stacy McAnulty instead handles with humor . . . backed by thorough
research which is documented in an extensive notes section.?"―School
Library Connection
About Stacy McAnulty:
STACY
MCANULTY doesn’t
think the world will end suddenly, but she does worry about the ongoing damage
to the environment caused by her species. Nonetheless, she believes Homo
sapiens can overcome challenges and reverse course by taking action. 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 The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl, and picture books, including
the Our Universe series, which explores space and the natural world. Save the
People is her debut middle-grade nonfiction. Originally from New York, she now
lives in North Carolina with her family.

be bettering her hand-lettering, making animated gifs, chronicling silly life
moments or informative sustainability tips in comic form, experimenting with
film photography or sewing new garments for herself. But she also dedicates a
lot of time to improving her second language (French), reading and, recently,
going on forest walks.
