SCIENTIFIC FACT: ADA TWIST, SCIENTIST IS THE FASTEST SELLING PICTURE BOOK RELEASE OF THE YEAR!
An Instant #1 New York Times bestseller, #1 National Indie bestseller, USA Today bestseller, Wall Street Journal bestseller, and Publishers Weekly bestseller!
Like her classmates, builder Iggy and inventor Rosie, scientist Ada, a character of color, 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. Not afraid of failure, she 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!
Learn more about the story behind Ada Twist in this Kirkus Reviews interview with Andrea Beaty.
With her love of the question "Why?," Ada is on a mission to use science to understand her world. So she teamed up with some of our blogger friends to show just how fun scientific experiments can be. Take a look at what the participating inquisitive minds discovered.
