Sometimes you just fall in love with a book and everything it represents. Rosie Revere is back in an all-new chapter book series that might just be the best early chapter book series ever engineered!
–Jesica DeHart, Neill Public Library, Pullman, WA
This is a fun, well-illustrated early chapter book that encompasses all the zany STEM encouragement of Beatty’s picture books with an even bigger dose of empathy and world-building. Young Rosie is introduced to her great-aunt Rose’s club of Raucous Riveters whose all-female members were the inspiring brawn and brains on the homefront building planes during WWII. These sassy seniors still gather regularly. When one of the women experiences a temporary disability, the whole group wants to help find a way for her to continue to live life to its fullest. Ava Twist and Iggy Peck are a big part of Rosie’s problem-solving and perseverance, so it’s a good multi-generational friendship story as well as a charming look at engineering in everyday life.
