Ada Twist, Scientist: Andrea Beaty & David Roberts Along with ‘Rosie Revere, Engineer’ and ‘Iggy Peck, Architect’, ‘Ada Twist’ is a bright and dynamic look at the curiosity of youth, and a moral lesson for those who try to stifle it. “Ada amazes her friends with her experiments. She examines all the clocks in the house, studies the solar system, and analyzes all the smells she encounters. Fortunately, her parents stop her from putting the cat in the dryer, sending her instead to the Thinking Chair. But while there, she covers the wall with formulae. What can her parents do? Instead of punishing her passion, they decide to try to understand it. ‘It’s all in the heart of a young scientist.’ […] Beaty delightfully advocates for girls in science in her now-trademark crisply rhyming text. Roberts’ illustrations, in watercolor, pen, and ink, manage to be both smart and silly; the page compositions artfully evoke the tumult of Ada’s curiosity, filling white backgrounds with questions and clutter.” Read the full review on Kirkus here: http://bit.ly/2qgFHUj Image credit: Ana Galvan
