Welcome & Why Me?
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve received while on my writing journey was to be ready to explain why you are the best person to write your book. So, in that spirit, here it goes. My name is Sarah Guz, and I teach kids to use power tools. I also teach them to code, to make robots, and to integrate engineering concepts into everyday activities. I wrote Sea Monster S.O.S. to bring these concepts to life beyond my Northern California classroom. Sea Monster S.O.S is a fun, middle-grade mystery filled with pirates, secret societies, ghosts, and sea monsters, but it’s much more than that. As a former journalist, I understand the vital role the news plays in our society. Sea Monster S.O.S. teaches kids what it means to consume the news responsibly, how to identify fake news, and what to do when they spot it. There’s also a STEM element to the story. When the characters inevitably find themselves in trouble, they use engineering concepts to escape (think: Middle Grade MacGyver).
