And when Miss Flippo tells the class that they're going to have their very own science lab, complete with lab coats and goggles, Lucy can't wait to start exploring. <p/>But one thing is troubling her. The tree that sat outside her first-grade classroom all year is gone. Where are the squirrels going to live? <p/>Inspired by her classroom lab, Lucy starts her own research mission to find out what happened to the tree, and then to lobby for the school to plant a new one. With the help of her cousin, Cora, and their new classmates, Lucy discovers that science is everywhere you look, and a lab can be anywhere you look.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michelle Houts</b> is the award-winning author of several middle-grade novels, picture books, and biographies for young readers including <i>Winterfrost</i>, which was a 2014 Bank Street Best Book and Junior Library Guild selection, and <i>The Beef Princess of Practical County</i>, which was awarded the 2010 IRA Children's Book Award.
