Ellie the Engineer is back in another charming, hilarious illustrated middle grade story filled with creative, STEM-powered fun!
 
Ellie enters a pageant with her best friend Kit, which means lots of glitter, hairspray, and chances to help fix any backstage engineering disasters. The biggest disaster of all? A runaway rabbit belonging to Kit’s not-so-nice pageant rival, Melody, who does a magic act for her talent—and Melody thinks that Kit is to blame.
Ellie knows she can build a contraption to catch the rabbit and clear Kit’s name, but if she does, Melody will perform as planned and probably win the crown. Plus, Ellie has to figure out what she’ll do for her talent before she gets called to the stage . . .
With Ellie’s designs and sketches throughout, and her fun guide to electricity and circuits in the back, the continuation of this delightful series will leave young readers laughing and inspired to create.
