Ada Lace, On the Case

By: Emily Calandrelli

Narrated by: Emily Calandrelli

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.

Great for my above average little reader

This is a great book for my son in first grade who is a very much above average reader. He is curious about everything, investigative, wants to know how to solve problems and why things happen so this was perfect for him! My only problem was with Audible itself, there’s no option to show the words so that my son could read along. These are the more stem version of the “jbj” books girls read as children.

dull and annoying

My kid is an avid reader and does not like these books, and I get why They try too hard to shoehorn in lessons, and the plot and characters are dull and stilted. I don't know why they're so highly rated, but there's much better options.
