Ada Twist, Scientist (The Questioneers)

Like her classmates—builder Iggy and inventor Rosie—scientist Ada, a character of color, has an endless imagination and an insatiable curiosity. Why are there prickly things on a rose? Why do nose hairs grow? When a dreadful, toe-curling smell fills her house, Ada knows it's up to her to uncover the source. What would you do with a problem like this? Unafraid of failure, Ada sets out on a mission to gather facts and perform scientific experiments, all in the name of discovery. But this time, her experiments only lead to more stink and land her in trouble!
