I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Being the mom of two science loving elementary aged kids I knew I had to check this out.
This is a great stem related chapter book. Representation matters and there is a lot of representation happening. The circle of friends include girls and boys. One boy is dyslexic but loves to draw. All of their names and interests rhyme. Ada and her Aunt are ladies of color as is the narrator.
Ada goes through the scientific method thoroughly and puts it into practice in a way relatable to children. There are moments of humor. There are a lot of educational and interesting facts discussed. There is female empowerment. There is guidance about the wisdom of not jumping to conclusions or making assumptions without investigating thoroughly and what kind of negative situations can happen if one does share opinions with no basis in reality. It’s clearly explained that science is about facts and not feelings.
The audiobook comes in just under and hour and a half and acting was spectacular especially considering there were a lot of characters and animals involved. Sound quality was good.
5/5
