Ada Twist, Scientist [hc]
Part of The Questioneers series
Written by Andrea Beaty & illustrated by David Roberts
Ada Twist’s head is full of questions. Like her classmates Iggy and Rosie- stars of their own New York Times bestselling picture books Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer- Ada has always been endlessly curious. Even when her fact-finding missions and elaborate scientific experiments don’t go as planned, Ada learns the value of thinking her way through problems and continuing to stay curious. 32 pages
"The pen-and-ink illustrations incorporate a mishmash of white space and the paraphernalia of scientific experimentation: blocks, beakers, graph paper, gadgets; at times the pages can barely contain the breadth of Ada's inquisitiveness. An author's note reveals that the heroine is named after trailblazing women scientists Marie Curie and Ada Lovelace. Young Ada Twist and her nonstop intellect might just encourage readers to blaze trails of their own." -Booklist (Kindergarten-Grade 2)
