The women in Ann McCallum Staats book Thrill Seekers: 15 Remarkable Women in Extreme Sports push the boundaries of fear and physical possibilities — whether they’re surfing monster waves, dogsledding through frigid wilderness or wingsuit flying over an active volcano. Staats, along with skydiver Melanie Curtis, cave diver Jill Heinerth, and scuba diver Ann Marie Stephens, share their stories of determination and grit in finding the courage to live life to the fullest.
Ann McCallum Staats holds a BA in Education from the University of Victoria, BC, and an MA in Education from the University of Maryland. She is the author Women Heroes of the US Army as well as six children’s books, including The Secret Life of Math, which won ForeWord’s Gold Book of the Year, and the Eat Your Homework series. She is currently an ESOL high school teacher and a member of SCBWI as well as the Children’s Book Guild of Washington, DC.
Hosted by Fall for the Book.
