ABOUT THE BOOK:
MY REVIEW:
I have loved every single one of this author's book series, this one is terrific too. I love that the author mixes science and real-life events to attract young readers, especially girls, to the field of science. In this case, Cordova Ice Worm Festival is a real event that, at this review, is happening now.
I love that Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo is not your normal everyday action hero. She is a young girl who lives with her mom and dad but just happens to also be a surgeon with extraordinary powers. She sets out to fix planetary problems and her family is encouraging for her.
In this episode, Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo is tasked with fixing the melting glaciers of Alaska which are causing ice worms (which by the way, are a real animal) to be upset. In addition, other arctic animals are having problems and need this fixed too because they are losing their habitat. Positive affirmations are provided throughout which is a keystone for the fictional character as well as the real author.
This was a little more complex that the books I have read before from this author. The science behind the problem was explained in much more detail and aimed at a bit older kids. This book is targeted for 6-12 year olds and is aligned with Common Core for the sciences in schools. Some words are a bit difficult to pronounce and read but the author does provide a glossary reference in the back as well as words for learning. In addition, the author has added links to be used as a resource guide for teachers and parents alike. This would be perfect for home school too.
5 stars!
