ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Ada Twist, Scientist Netflix series is the winner of an Emmy Award as Outstanding Preschool Animated Series!

A #1 New York Times Bestseller

A Wall Street Journal Bestseller

A USA Today Bestseller


The creators of The New York Times bestselling picture books Rosie Revere, Engineer and Iggy Peck, Architect are back with a story about the power of curiosity in the hands of a child who is on a mission to use science to understand her world. Ada Twist, Scientist, from powerhouse team Andrea Beaty and David Roberts, is a celebration of STEM, perseverance, and passion.

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. What would you do with a problem like this? Not afraid of failure, Ada 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!

Inspired by real-life makers such as Ada Lovelace and Marie Curie, Ada Twist, Scientist champions girl power and women scientists, and brings welcome diversity to picture books about girls in science. Touching on themes of never giving up and problem solving, Ada comes to learn that her questions might not always lead to answers, but rather to more questions. She may never find the source of the stink, but with a supportive family and the space to figure it out, she’ll be able to feed her curiosity in the ways a young scientist should.

Iggy Peck and Rosie Revere have earned their places among the most beloved children’s characters, and they have inspired countless kids and adults to follow their dreams and passions. Now in her own charming and witty picture book, determined Ada Twist, with her boundless curiosity for science and love of the question "Why?," is destined to join these two favorites. The book is the perfect tool to remind both young girls and women that they have the intelligence and perseverance to achieve their dreams.
Andrea Beaty se crió en el sur de Illinois en una ciudad tan pequeña que conocía a todo el mundo y todo el mundo la conocía a ella. Pasaba los veranos correteando por los campos y bosques en busca de aventuras. Le gustaba mucho leer, sobre todo libros de misterio. Y su ambición secreta era protagonizar un musical en Broadway. Estudió Biología e Informática la Universidad del Sur de Illinois. Luego trabajó para una compañía de software de ordenadores. Ahora vive en Chicago con su familia. Visita muchas escuelas cada año para compartir su amor por la lectura haciendo también talleres de escritura con niños y educadores.

David Roberts nació en 1970 en el Reino Unido. Ha ilustrado un gran número de libros para autores muy conocidos tanto para adultos como niños.
