The Hyena Scientist: A Scientists in the Field Book About Groundbreaking Female Research and Misunderstood Mammals for Kids (Ages 8-12)

This myth-busting new addition to the critically acclaimed Scientists in the Field series by Sibert medal winning team Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop is perfect for nonfiction readers looking for more female scientist narratives, or a fresh perspective on an underrepresented animalâ€”Hyenas!

Timely and inspiring, The Hyena Scientist sets the record straight about one of historyâ€™s most hated and misunderstood mammals, while featuring the groundbreaking, pioneering research of a female scientist in a predominatelyÂ male field in this offering by Sibert-winning duo Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop.

As a scientist studying one of the only mammalian societies led entirely by females, zoologist Kay Holecamp has made it her lifeâ€™s work to understand hyenas, the fascinating, complex creatures that are playful, social, and highly intelligentâ€”almost nothing like the mangy monsters of pop culture lore.
