Description

Feature Request

Problem / Opportunity

We recently added trending scores to our solr search engine. This means, when we arrive on the book page, we should have trending score available to us.

Proposal

If the trending score for the book on the book page is > some threshold e.g. 5, then render the trending badge macro.

Please propose a design if you'd like to work on this issue :)

Research direction
Investigate the TrendingBadge.html macro at openlibrary/macros/TrendingBadge.html. Explore the book page template to identify where to render the badge. Check how trending scores are retrieved from Solr (likely via Python backend). Propose a design in the issue comments before implementation.
