The Black Hole Debacle by Keri Claiborne Boyle

A fun STEM story that is sure to suck readers in!

Jordie is awed by asteroids, perplexed by planets, and mesmerized by moons. She can't believe her luck when she finds a black hole taking up residence in her desk at school. Of course she's keeping it. But when the black hole starts snarfing everything in sight--including Neptune the dog--she realizes that black holes need wide open spaces, galaxies to graze, and stars to slurp. Given the gravity of the situation, Jordie knows she has to set things right. Just not before she embarks on a wild, time- and space-bending mission to save her pup.

Backmatter includes additional information about black holes.

Keri Claiborne Boyle has loved writing since she was your age. After years in business communications, she now gets to write for kids and think like a dog! She earned a master's degree from Northwestern University and a bachelor's from the University of Rochester. An avid triathlete and marathoner, she lives in suburban Boston with her husband and four children (three human, one canine), who serve--sometimes unknowingly--as the inspiration for much of her writing. This is her second children's book.
