MAMA GONE GEEK

An Emmy Award winning writer for "Bill Nye the Science Guy," Lynn is the author of best-selling children's books, and a former K-12 science and art teacher. The results of her "experiment" to date have been surprising, humorous, sometimes misguided, but always meaningful. They are now chronicled in her forthcoming parenting memoir.

We live in a time and in a culture that celebrates scientific and technological innovation. It is also a time when smart kid parenting is a driving trend--especially with book sales. Readers of MAMA GONE GEEK will learn how one artsy science-nerd mom applies what she knows to raise science savvy and confident kids. Readers can follow Lynn's magical stories as she seamlessly incorporates lessons of the physical world into her sons' every day lives, whether she uses an accidently ingested magnet to teach them about the human body or increases their baseball batting averages through lessons on Newton's Laws of Motion.

To be sure, Lynn's stories will appeal to readers of memoirs like Pamela Druckerman's Bringing Up Bebe and Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother as well as behavioral titles like How Children Succeed by Paul Tough and The Blessing of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel.
