A #1 New York Times Bestseller
Inspired by real-life makers Ada Lovelace and Marie Curie, this beloved #1 bestseller champions STEM, girl power and women scientists in a rollicking celebration of curiosity, the power perseverance, and the importance of asking Why? Don't miss Ada's further adventures-with her friends Iggy Peck and Rosie Revere-in the first all-new chapter book starring The Questioneers!
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.
'Best science fiction books for children,' The School Run
'Ada - young, black, female, sporting spotty socks and bobbles in her hair - represents everything that science is about. Endlessly curious, and determined to find out the why and how of everything around her, she just can't help questioning and conducting experiments to test her theories.' - Teach Primary
'The reversal of gender expectation - Girls! You can do anything, you don't have to ask! - is well-travelled terrain, but what marks these books out is the ludic detail of the drawings and the witty, untendentious spirit of adventure in the writing.' - The Guardian
'A smart, funny, and gorgeously designed picture book that offers a brilliant role-model for kids in Ada.' - Buzzfeed
'Ada Twist is a stereotype-smashing tale which celebrates the power of curiosity and scientific enquiry.' -- The Little Rebels Children's Book Award
Andrea Beaty is the author of many beloved children’s books, including the bestselling Questioneers series, I Love You Like Yellow , Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau , and One Girl. She lives just outside Chicago.
"I was raised in southern Illinois in a town so small I knew everybody and their pets. And they all knew me. I was one of six kids and we spent our summer days traipsing through the fields and forests hunting for adventure. We often found it. And sometimes it found us. Always, it was fun and often, we laughed so hard we blew Orange Crush or Grape Nehi Soda out our noses. I still avoid Grape Nehi . . . just in case. I was a big reader as a kid and LOVED Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon Mysteries. Then I moved on to Agatha Christie books and then the classics. Don’t tell anyone, but my secret ambition is to star in a Broadway musical and I am often tempted to break into song and dance at very odd moments. Mostly in the frozen food section of my grocery store. They have very good lighting."
