Description

Violet is a science-loving girl inventor with a flair for the air! Fans of Ada Twist, Scientist and Rosie Revere, Engineer will love this classic underdog story by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Steve Breen.

By the time she’s two years old, Violet Van Winkle can engineer nearly any appliance in the home. And by eight she’s building elaborate flying machines from scratch—mind-boggling contraptions such as the Tubbubbler, the Bicycopter, and the Wing-a-ma-jig. The youngsters at school tease her, but they do not know what she’s in a position to. Perhaps she could earn their respect by winning the blue ribbon within the upcoming Air Show. Or Perhaps something even better will occur—something involving her best possible-ever invention, a Boy Scout troop in peril, or even the mayor himself!

“An engaging story of a spunky girl who follows her dreams . . . Violet is an important role model.”–School Library Journal
