Praise for Edie's Experiments 2: How to Be the Best

This is the second in this series for independent readers who enjoy school stories, science and characters they can relate to. Each is an individual and each has flaws, as do we all, but there is a sense that they are real and Edie’s continued positivity is refreshing in a world that seems to carry only bad news these days . . . A series to spread the word about.

Barbara Braxton, The Bottom Shelf

This book is fast-paced, enjoyable and full of pages of scientific experiments that are a mixture of fact and fun! Edie is incredibly likeable and her energetic personality and sometimes flawed, over-the-top plans, create an action-packed read with lots of laughter thoughtful eco ideas.

Deb Abela, CBCA Reading Time

Edie is all about doing small things to make an improvement to our environment and this is a lesson we can all take out of books such as these. She makes science look fun and cool for everyone. I think these books could provide the kids who really like science an opportunity to engage with like-minded characters and follow their interests.
