APPEALS TO: SOME

Lynn loves her yearly visits to the family cabin - especially watching the fireflies come out at night with their 6 seconds on- 6 seconds off synchronous pattern.  When Lynn learned that scientists thought that none of the fireflies in her area were synchronized, she knew she had to prove them wrong.  Thus began her journey to becoming known as the Lightning Bug Lady.

I really liked how even though Lynn never studied to become an entomologist, she still put in the hours and has become an important part of the field. Citizen scientist and a woman. Look into it as a classroom support book.
