Rosie Revere, Engineer

by Andrea Beaty
illustrated by David Roberts
Abrams Books for Young Readers
ISBN-13:  978-1419708459







A beautifully-illustrated tale of a girl and her dream to become a great engineer. 

Where some people see rubbish, Rosie Revere sees inspiration. Alone in her room at night, shy Rosie constructs great inventions from odds and ends. Hot dog dispensers, helium pants, python-repelling cheese hats. Rosie’s gizmos would astound—if she ever let anyone see them.

Afraid of failure, she hides them away under her bed. Until a fateful visit from her great-great-aunt Rose, who shows her that a first flop isn’t something to fear—it’s something to celebrate.
