Charlotte the Scientist Finds a Cure by Camille Andros

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.

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!
