Why are chemists great for solving problems? A: They have all the solutions.

Charlotte the Scientist Finds a Cure by Camille Andros

March 13, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

First, I consider myself a feminist and for girl power and helping kids be their best. However, I also believe do not make things an “us and them” situation. The not subtle fact that our title character Charlotte, in Charlotte the Scientist Finds a Cure, is a girl doing science is great, but subconsciously it might turn off boys. Therefore, putting itself solidly in the “this is a girl book” category and boys might be less likely to pick it up. Camille Andros has created a cozy book about “just because you are small you can still do big things.” […]

Princess Sparkle Destroyer of Worlds

Sanity and Tallulah by Molly Brooks

January 7, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

What sort of mischief would two tweens who grew up on a space station get into? Why, inventing new species and saving the day of course! Sanity and Tallulah are best friends and children of VIPs on board their space station home. Sanity is the smarty pants who spends her time experimenting and futzing with mechanics, usually on the sly and not quite in the realm of what her parents would allow. Tallulah is along for the ride, though she prefers gushing over their favorite comics and avoiding homework. When one of Sanity’s experiments appears to be dismantling the space […]

Cece Loves Science by Kimberly Derting and Shelli R. Johannes

July 17, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Cece Loves Science is the first picture book in a new series. Cece is a clever girl who asks questions. She loves science and she cannot wait to find out the answer to the question, “Do dogs eat vegetables?”  Cece and her best friend, Isaac, tackle this question for their school project. Using the steps of science (brainstorming, asking questions, experimenting, and more) the answer soon is clear. Or is it? Cece learns that sometimes your first answer is not the only one. Overall the book is a lovely book with a STEM theme. Yet, for this adult, it fell […]

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

July 6, 2018 by Malin 7 Comments

Stella Lane loves mathematics and equations and is extremely good at her job, which involves creating algorithms to predict customer purchases, It makes her highly valued by her employer and she makes more money than she has any idea what to do with. Stella has Asperger’s, which means she’s on the Autism Spectrum, and has not had a lot of success when dating in the past. She believes this is her fault (it’s not, she’s clearly dated some total loser creeps). So when her mother declares that she would like grandchildren, Stella tries to methodically figure out how to get better. […]
