Ellie the Engineer is back in a third charming, hilarious, illustrated story filled with creative, STEM-powered fun!

Look out, Junie B. Jones! Ellie the engineer is thinking, making, creating, and showing enthusiasm and brilliance with her creations! - School Library Connection on Ellie, Engineer

Ellie enters a pageant with her best friend Kit, which means lots of glitter, hairspray, and chances to make new friends. After all, Ellie has lots of engineering ideas to help the other girls with their talents, like building a light-up skateboard ramp for Kit!

But one contestant, Kit's not-so-nice pageant rival Melody, makes fun of Ellie's tool belt and thinks engineering is messy. When Melody's rabbitโ€”part of her magic actโ€”goes missing, Ellie knows that she can build a contraption to catch him. However, Melody's comments have made Ellie start to doubt herselfโ€”what if a pageant isn't a place for engineering?

With Ellieโ€™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.
