Science writers Shar Levine and Leslie Johnstone were short-listed for the 2009 American Association for the Advancement of Science, Science Book and Films-Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books for their book, The Ultimate Guide to Your Microscope (Sterling, 2008). It was the second time the writing team was short-listed for an award in the category of Hands-on Science/Activity Book.

It's a common misconception that marine creatures like fish, shrimp and seahorses live silently in the sea. But these water-dwellers actually make "some of the most interesting sounds you've never heard." In What Sound Does a Seahorse Make? (Ronsdale, 2015), readers will learn more about these critters and can scan QR codes to access audio and video recordings of the surprising noises they make. Also included are interactive science projects that illustrate various aspects of sound, such as waves and frequencies.
