Publisher's Summary
Ada Twist is full of questions. A scientist to her very core, she asks why again and again. One question always leads to another until she’s off on a journey of discovery! When Rosie Revere’s Uncle Ned gets a little carried away wearing his famous helium pants, it’s up to Ada and friends to chase him down. As Uncle Ned floats farther and farther away, Ada starts asking lots of questions: How high can a balloon float? Is it possible for Uncle Ned to float into outer space? And what’s the best plan for getting him down?
Critic Reviews
"Sound effects and Bahni Turpin's lively narration enhance this vivid story of an inquisitive future scientist.... Turpin imbues each character with personality, embodying Ada's excited curiosity, her parents' occasional exasperation, and her brother's crankiness at being the subject of her experiments. Even Ada's 'research' notes, which give more technical information, are enlivened with music and Turpin's energetic tone." (AudioFile Magazine)
