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.

Without resorting to didacticism, this book offers an important message about how making assumptions and believing stereotypes can hurt people. Children will enjoy the humorous situations . . . Teachers will appreciate Ellie's guide to simple machines in the back of the book and the meaningful integration of engineering concepts.

Charming. . . . In addition to spotlighting engineering, the narrative contains strong themes of friendship and working together toward a common goal.

Pearce emphasizes Ellie's persistence and individuality. . . . Mourning's notebook-style images help give a sense of how Ellie's brain works.
Publishers Weekly on ELLIE, ENGINEER
-
Explicitly rejects the idea that activities and objects are gendered (e.g., boys and girls can both like engineering and tea parties). . . . A spirited, duplicable depiction of STEM fun.
