Ellie, Engineer: The Next Level

Description

Ellie's parents suggest that Ellie and her friends help out Mrs. Curran, an elderly neighbor who could use a hand around the house. Ellie is really only supposed to help with little things, like leaf raking and under-couch-cleaning, but she can't turn down the opportunity to use her engineering prowess here and there. It's no fun, though, when Mrs. Curran always gives Toby the credit for all things engineering, and acts like Kit and Ellie were just helping him out . . . With Ellie's designs and sketches throughout, this continuation of Jackson Pearce's delightful series will leave young readers laughing and inspired to create.

Jackson Pearce lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
