Carbon Cycle: Track the Path of Life's Essential Element
What element is found in all known forms of life? Carbon!
Scientists call carbon the chemical backbone of life on Earth. That's because without carbon, there'd be no humans, animals, plants, microbes, or any other kind of life. In The Carbon Cycle: Track the Path of Life's Essential Element, young scientists explore how the first life forms that evolved on our planet consumed carbon and now, 4 billion years later, carbon is still the building block of all known forms of life.
Carbon regulates the planet's temperature, serves as the foundation of our food web, and provides the energy that fuels the global economy. Carbon is stored in rocks, sediment, the ocean, the atmosphere--and in every living thing, including people. Carbon rotates through these reservoirs in what we call the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle relies on balance, but as we continue to burn fossil fuels, more of the carbon stored in rock gets released into the atmosphere, upsetting the careful balance that keeps our climate healthy and habitable.
Learn all about the carbon cycle and the human influence on that cycle through a compelling narrative, links to online resources, essential questions, text-to-world observations, hands-on STEM activities, and graphic-novel style illustrations and photographs.
Additional materials include a glossary, a list of media for further learning, a selected bibliography, and index. All books are leveled for Guided Reading level and Lexile and align with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
All titles are available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.

Liar I Married: A totally addictive psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist
I trusted him with my life. I shouldn't have...
Opening my eyes, I see a nurse standing over my bed. She wipes away my tears as she tells me I was in a car crash and it was my fault. Confused, I only remember snapshots of my life, but I'm not convinced the crash was an accident.
My marriage had been perfect, until my husband, John, met Rebecca. He said they were just friends and that I was imagining things when I saw them cosied up like they were on a date. Now, as I lie in my recovery bed, fragments of that night come back to me-John late home from work, an empty wine glass, Rebecca climbing out of John's car, a blazing row on the doorstep...
I beg John to tell me what happened, but he insists I don't try to recall any details, that it'll harm my recovery. He reminds me that I'm lucky to even be alive.
But when someone leaves a note, my blood runs cold: Don't trust anyone. Were my instincts right? Did someone try to kill me? As I look into my husband's lying eyes, all I can think is, will I make it out of this marriage alive...?
