Ada Twist, a curious second grader inspired by mathematician Ada Lovelace and physicist Marie Curie, embarks on fact-finding missions and conducts scientific experiments to answer her endless questions. When her house fills with a terrible smell, Ada is determined to find the source. Although her experiments lead to trouble, Ada's perseverance and curiosity champion the importance of STEM, girl power, and the significance of asking 'Why?' in this #1 bestseller by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts. Scientist Ada has a boundless imagination and has always been hopelessly curious. Why are there pointy things stuck to a rose? Why are there hairs growing inside your nose? When her house fills with a horrific, toe-curling smell, Ada knows it’s up to her to find the source. What would you do with a problem like this? Not afraid of failure, Ada embarks on a fact-finding mission and conducts scientific experiments, all in the name of discovery. But, this time, her experiments lead to even more stink and get her into trouble!
