A review by CJ, age 6.

I liked when Nina thought it was the aliens because I like aliens. So when they found out it was the satellites, and they were lined up [with the ISS], it was so cool

And what also was cool is Milton playing a trick on them and how Ada programmed her robot to make scary noises.

And also what I really liked was Milton and Ada are friends now. So I think in the fourth book it’s going to be like they’re super friends.

And they’re going to play together and fly Milton’s kite a lot and talk on the ham a lot. And I think they’re going to do cases together and other stuff that’s fun together.

I’m going to sing a song about my favorite part:

Harmony harmony harmony. I love to sing. I love to sing. Whenever I finish a book. I love ada Lace. I love Ada lace because she’s the coolest. There’s 5 books. And I really like them. I wanna read them every day. Harmony harmony harmony.

Another adorable STEM story. I love how Emily incorporates the robot from the last book into this one. Ada’s fascination with the Ham radio was interesting, and she discovered that her nemesis from the last book could actually be a good companion. The dynamic between her and Nina was a struggle this book, but they resolved it a bit at the end. All in all a delightful kid story.

I still love this series but didn’t like this one as much as the other 2. It was harder for my kids to engage with it also. Maybe because they couldn’t quite visualize the radio and communication since they haven’t really ever been exposed to a free standing radio.
