Jones! Ellie the engineer is thinking, making, creating, and showing enthusiasm and brilliance with her creations! - <i>School Library Connection </i></b><b>on <i>Ellie, Engineer</i></b> <p/>After Ellie's first elevator build goes terribly wrong, her parents decide her punishment is to assist an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Curran, around the house. Ellie and her friends Kit and Toby are really only supposed to help with little things, but Ellie can't turn down the opportunity to use her engineering skills here and there where she sees a need--because that's what engineers do! It's no fun, though, when Mrs. Curran always gives Toby the credit for all the ingenious projects, and acts like Kit and Ellie were just helping him. . . . Can Ellie come up with another great build to elevate Mrs. Curran's ideas about this girl engineer? <p/>With Ellie's designs and sketches throughout, and her fun guide to simple machines in the back, the continuation of this delightful series will leave young readers laughing and inspired to create.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Without resorting to didacticism, this book offers an important message about how making assumptions and believing stereotypes can hurt people.
