Writing with Humor, Heart, & Grit

STEM and STE(A)M in Amato Novels and Chapter Books

by Leave a Comment

Many of my novels and chapter books for young adults and children have science-related themes or subplots. I love an interdisciplinary approach to learning–and to life. My STEM and STE(A)M related fiction:

  • Edgar Allan’s Official Crime Investigation Notebook (forensics, chemistry, poetry) Ages 7-11
  • Invisible Lines (mycology, biology, naturalist’s notebook, sketchbooks, visual arts) Ages 10-14
  • Guitar Notes (physics, music, songwriting) Ages 12 and up
  • The Word Eater (scientific method, language arts) Ages 8-12
  • The Naked Mole-Rat Letters (biology, zoology, writing, psychology) Ages 8-14

Humor and Heart

I give voice to the funny, sad, messy, and wondrous stories of life, especially the stories of children and young adults. My mission: each book has humor and heart. If you are a teen and/or you're looking for info about my books and music for older readers, please check out my www.thrumsociety.com site.
