Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     Spring break can be a great time to get kids reading…and taking a break from screens.     For middle schoolers and up… one of the latest books from Scholastic can spark lots of thought and discussion.    Award winning author Ann Burg has used verse to take readers into the life of Rachel Carson with the title Force of Nature.  It is a style she has used before..

“When you write in verse, you are actually channeling them.  You’re experiencing their experiences through their words and their thoughts.  I find writing in verse a really direct communication to whatever that person is trying to tell us.  And I hope my readers have that same experience when they’re reading it. ”

The title again from Scholastic.. is Force of Nature -a Novel of Rachel Carson.
