Description
Book SynopsisYoung readers will rally behind this ambitious second-grade girl who, with only her dreams and gizmos, has the power to change the world. The first book in the Gizmo Girl series introduces Geraldine and celebrates the dreamers in all of us. Geraldine is an energetic, spirited second-grader with dreams of becoming an astronaut. She knows that she's clever and inventive, but can she create the winning entry in her class science contest? Armed with nothing but her strong will and the broken parts of her parents' old gadgets and gizmos, she sets out to invent an amazing contraption. Will her invention wow her classmates and transform her from class troublemaker to creative scientist?
Enthusiasm and imagination go hand in hand as readers learn that science can be found everywhere, and you can be an inventor by simply using everyday objects. Award-winning author of the Gizmo Girl series, Sol Regwan, hopes young readers will identify with Geraldine
Trade ReviewThe story succeeds as an underdog saves-the-day text to inspire young readers. -- Youth Services Book Review (Starred review)
The story inspires kids to think out of the box, shows that science is anything but boring, and, perhaps, will have them wanting to invent something themselves. -- Bookworm for Kids
This is a great story to introduce imagination, creation, and science. The colors used on the cover and inside pages are eye-catching and should pull little ones into the pages. If used to introduce the aspect of inventing and creating, and if you examine the various creations that the children make, it can be a very effective teaching tool. Also, a good book to open the topic of creativity and imagination. -- Pick a Good Book
