Robyn A. Hill, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Teacher Education Department at National University in San Diego California.  Since 2001, she has been involved with The Secret Origin of Good Readers project, speaking to teachers and librarians several times a year about using comics and graphic novels in the classroom and as tools for literacy.  She also edited The Secret Origin of Good Readers Resource Book, which is available for free download at http://www.night-flight.com/secretorigin/.  Due to the high quality and availability of The Scrapyard Detectives series, Dr. Hill enthusiastically created a special packet of worksheets, projects, and other resources that she hopes will help teachers to see how engaging comics and graphic novels can be for students of all ages.  Dr. Hill can be reached at rhill@nu.edu.
