Questions, experiments, and a helium-pants rescue

Ada Twist’s curiosity turns into a practical challenge when her friend Rosie’s Uncle Ned floats away in his helium-filled pants. As Ada and the other Questioneers work out how high he might rise and how to bring him down, the story connects a comic predicament with questions about science and flight. Friendship and teamwork are part of the rescue, alongside Ada’s habit of investigating how things work. The second Questioneers chapter book brings its STEM subject matter into an adventure built around a specific problem to solve.

Book overview

New York Times bestseller!
Now a Netflix series!

"Packs plenty of information into a high-flying adventure." --School Library Journal

"Adventure, humor, and smart, likable characters make for a winning chapter book." --Kirkus Reviews

From the #1 New York Times bestselling team Andrea Beaty and David Roberts who created Ada Twist, Scientist and Iggy Peck, Architect comes a spirited story full of adventure, friendship, and science!

Ada Twist is the Queen of Questions. Like, why does hot coffee smell stronger than cold? What kind of birds live in her backyard? And, especially, why does her brother Arthur get so cranky when she borrows his stuff for experiments? But Ada's questions really come in handy when her friend Rosie Revere needs help. Rosie's Uncle Ned has gotten carried away in his famous helium pants, and Ada needs some answers--fast! How high can Uncle Ned float? Will he fly off into outer space? And, most important, how can they get him down? With the help of her fellow Questioneers Iggy Peck and Rosie Revere, her brother Arthur, and some new friends, Ada Twist is ready to save the day!

Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants is the second in a unique and exciting series of chapter books for children, parents, and teachers who want to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fun.
