A young inventor investigates a missing dog

Ada Lace brings science and invention into a neighborhood mystery when a neighbor’s Yorkie disappears. The third-grade sleuth turns to her collection of gadgets and teams up with Nina, a neighbor whose theory about the dog’s disappearance points in an unexpected direction. Their investigation gives the story two linked threads: working through a mystery and building a friendship between very different companions. As the first book in a chapter-book series, it introduces Ada’s interest in science and technology through a case grounded in her community.

Book overview

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.
