ADA Lace, on the Case
Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Engineering & Technology
- Story / Adventure
- Maker / Problem-Solving
Ada Lace, on the Case gives a third-grade scientist-inventor a dognapping mystery that she pursues with Nina and a growing collection of gadgets. Each device and inference has to produce useful evidence, so technology and disciplined reasoning are part of solving the case rather than decorative character traits.
The science inside
- Engineering & Design
- Inventions
Your child will meet:
- A useful investigation distinguishes direct observations from guesses about what caused them.
- A tool is effective only when its output answers the question being investigated.
- Simple explanations should be tested against all available evidence rather than accepted because they are convenient.
- An engineered device can be revised when its first design does not meet the user's need.

Parent effort: Quick discussion
From Emily Calandrelli--host of Xploration Outer Space , correspondent on Bill Nye Saves the World , and graduate of MIT--comes the first novel in a brand-new chapter book series about an eight-year-old girl with a knack for science, math, and solving mysteries with technology. Ada Lace--third-grade scientist and inventor extraordinaire--has discovered something awful: her neighbor's beloved Yorkie has been dognapped! With the assistance of a quirky neighbor named Nina (who is convinced an alien took the doggie) and her ever-growing collection of gadgets, Ada sets out to find the wrongdoer. As their investigation becomes more and more mysterious, Ada and Nina grow closer, proving that opposites do, in fact, attract.
