Ada Lace Sees Red
Ada Lace Sees Red | Emily Calandrelli
From Emily Calandrelli—host of Xploration Outer Space, correspondent on Bill Nye Saves the World, and graduate of MIT—comes the second 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 is building a new robot! She’s determined to beat Milton in the upcoming robotics competition. But she’s distracted—Ada finds her dad’s art class impossible, while Nina is the star of the class, basking in the glory of being Mr. Lace’s star pupil. When Mr. Lace suggests that Nina put on an art show, Ada becomes jealous and loses her temper. Now Ada isn’t speaking to her dad, she’s falling behind in art class, and she still doesn’t know how to fix her robot. As the competition looms closer, Ada starts to wonder if there might be a way to use both science and art to solve her problems. Will Ada make up with her father in time to test her hypothesis? Or will her hurt feelings leave her seeing red and without a medal at the end of the day?

Second in the series. Ada is a very scientifically-minded kid, happiest working on her new robot. She‘s struggling in her art class, which is worse because the teacher is her dad. Rather than asking for help from her artist parents or artistic best friend, Ada avoids the problem altogether. Trouble ensues. But Ada finds a way to solve her robot problem and art woes at the same time!

ravenlee Turns out Ada struggles in art because she‘s color-blind, which neither parent suspects but Ada‘s best friend works out. Very interesting perspective on color-blindness. 4y
