review:
'The Acadia Files: Summer Investigations' by Katie Coppens with illustrations by Holly Hatam is about a young girl who is curious about the world around her, and some parents who set her on the path of the scientific method to help her find answers.
Part storybook, part investigative journal, there are 5 chapters that teach different science principals. From missing blueberries, and where sand comes from, to tides and gravity. Each chapter has a story where Acadia tries to figure things out. The chapter ends with experiments to try, new words and concepts that are introduced, and additional questions that Acadia comes up with.
The world of S.T.E.M. has produced a whole plethora of science books for young readers. I've read some really bad ones and some really good ones. This falls in to the really good category. Rather than just beat the reader over the head with "SCIENCE," the author, who is an educator, has created an interesting narrative framework for why science matters.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Tilbury House, Myrick Marketing & Media LLC, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
