Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters

Andrea Beaty originally wrote some picture books based on these main characters:  Rosie Revere: engineer, Iggy Peck: Architect, and Ada  Twist: Scientist.  They are wonderful stories about children who love science.  Now, the author has written beginning chapter books.  This one features Rosie and her aunt, who was a riveter during WWII.  Her aunt and her fellow riveters need Rosie's help in designing a tool to help an injured friend paint.  The reader sees Rosie's questioning mind work through the scientific process of brainstorming, designing, research, and testing.  Any student who loves science will eat these up!  The series with all the characters is called The Questioneers.  (E BEA)
