Ada Twist and the Perilous Pantaloons by Andrea Beaty

Ada Twist is full of questions. A scientist to her very core, Ada asks why again and again. One question always leads to another until she’s off on a journey of discovery!
When Rosie Revere’s Uncle Ned gets a little carried away wearing his famous helium pantaloons, it’s up to Ada and friends to chase him down. As Uncle Ned floats farther and farther away, Ada starts asking lots of questions: How high can a balloon float? Is it possible for Uncle Ned to float into outer space? And what’s the best plan for getting him down?
In this new chapter-book adventure, Ada must rely on her curious mind, her brave spirit, and her best pals Rosie Revere and Iggy Peck to solve a mystery in her own backyard.

“Beaty’s Questioneers series introduces children to real science, with characters who are curious about how the world worksAda Twist is an aspiring scientist who conducts experiments and reads facts to find out the answers to her questions. Her friends are Iggy, architect-to-be, and Rosie, a budding engineer. In this story, wondering why her mother’s hot coffee smells stronger than her father’s iced coffee leads Ada to discoveries about how gases and molecules move when heated. This, along with investigating how forces operate, enables her to rescue her Uncle Ned when he drifts away in his helium-filled trousers. The story, and Roberts’s stylish and comic illustrations, add fun and laughter to the acquisition of knowledge. Rarely is fiction so informative.” -- Sunday Times Culture Magazine
