Ada Twist is a scientist and she loves finding answers to all of her questions. When Ada's friend Rosie's Uncle Ned, wearing his helium pants, has a mishap and is floating farther away, Ada's questioning mind and her desire for answers are just what it takes to save the day.

I read this book aloud to my five-year-old twins, and they both said they liked it and it was funny and they think lots of people should read it. My son said readers will think the pants are funny, and my daughter said she likes Ada because she does experiments. As an adult, I also enjoyed the book. It was a fun story, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final version with the finished illustrations. My kids and I have enjoyed both of the chapter books in this series, as well as the picture books, and will definitely be reading more about Ada, Iggy, and Rosie in the future.

I read an ARC via #NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Ada Twist, Rosie Revere, and Iggy Peck have their own chapter books! Now kids who loved the picture books can learn more complex science concepts in this great chapter book series.

Ada is very interested in finding out about her myriad of questions, like do warm stinky shoes smell worse than old stinky shoes? She’s participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count when Rosie’s Uncle Ned comes floating by in his helium pants. Rosie and Iggy are trying to rescue him as he’s floated away. The three friends work with others to help rescue Uncle Ned.

I learned a lot about air pressure and air currents. The science concepts are explained in simple terms that are easy to understand but not too simplistic to insult a kid interested in science.

I will be recommending this entire series of chapter books to kids.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced reading copy.

Our boys loved Beaty's Rosie, Iggy, and Ada picture books and really enjoy the STEM aspect. Our older son is very interested in this new "Questioneers" chapter book series and loved seeing the further adventures and problem solving of these well-loved characters in the first book with Rosie. He was thrilled to check out this edition with Ada.

These books connect with our kids because failure and disappoint happen (and isn't avoided like many books for kids) and you are able to feel that which I think it is important. The problem-solving step is a great thing to show that ideas don't always go as planned but that doesn't mean that things can't still work out in a different way and that making an effort and trying is a success in itself.

This book was fun to read also has real-life lessons about perseverance and empowerment. We were also happy to see that the beautiful illustrations by David Roberts are still included which are such a positive addition to this wonderful storytelling. Highly recommend! Thank you to NetGalley and ABRAMS kids for a copy of this book, all opinions are our own.

Even better than the first one. While not every kid knows an uncle who flies away in his helium pants, many kids are curious, feel overwhelmed, and have problems to solve. My boys have loved every book in this series so far, and I'm sure they'll love this one too.

Exactly what I have come to expect from Beaty. The educational value of these fun and vibrantly illustrated stories is an excellent resource for children all around.

While the story is rather far-fetched—an uncle flying around untethered in helium filled pants and in need of rescue by Ada Twist’s savvy science—it is a simple page-turner for young readers. As another reviewer pointed out though, featuring super smart kids and super dumb adults is wearing thin—at least for me. Back matter is forthcoming and I hope it emphasizes and reinforces science concepts.

Beaty's previous picture books are a delight. My students love the stories and the idea that individual students have their own tales,
Ada is a child scientist whose sense of curiosity and love of science is apparent, When her Uncle Ned, who joyously wears his helium pants, flies away, Ada must figure out how to get him back. Students are able to identify with her need for explanation through science and experimentation.
In the Stem era this book is especially relevant. How pleased my readers will be with the author's segue into chapter books.

Ada is a great role model for young scientists, and the book is fun to read and super cute. I am happy that Ada is now appearing in chapter books.

Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants is a cute book filled with great information. Ada is a young scientist whose mind is overflowing with questions and answers, but no logical way of explaining things so others can understand her. When her friend's uncle is in trouble, Ada has possible solutions, if she could only find a way to get her thoughts in order. Many people, young and old, can relate to Ada. I loved the fact Beaty included the Great Backyard Bird Count in this story. As nice as the story is, I found Ada quite annoying with her "Zowie" expression and it's another story where adults are inept and the day is saved by a child. Yes, it's a children's book, but many of the adults in the book would have better reactions to Uncle Ned's cries for help. Overall, a cute, quick read and I am sure lots of children will enjoy reading about Ada's adventures.

Thank you NetGalley and Amulet Books for the opportunity to read an advance reader copy.

Another great Ada Twist story. Our younger patrons love her books. We're happy to add this one to our collection.
