About The Renegade Spy Project: Book One Of The Renegade
Product Description Wren is impulsive, curious, and always in trouble. Can her flaws become her greatest asset? Wren Sterling has a problem. She knows she's super smart and a good friend, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake her reputation as a troublemaker. It feels like the only people who believe in her are her three best friends in the Renegade Girls Tinkering Club. She’d hoped middle school would be different, but when her inability to control her temper causes an accident, even her beloved STEM Club is no longer a safe haven. She has to find a way to fix it. When her idea to start a business inventing and selling spy gadgets succeeds, it looks like she's finally done something right! But then the Club is accused of a crime. Can they use their own gadgets, and a little bit of trouble to solve the mystery? If they can find the real culprit, Wren may just discover she has a bright future after all. If they can’t, she could lose her best friends forever. “It’s The Babysitter's Club meets MacGyver!” Build your own SPY GADGETS! Instructions included in this charming story about friendship, middle school, and the Engineering Design Process for kids ages 8-12. Review "...the realism this piece takes on is unique to the genre. The reader can follow every scene and picture themselves next to the characters or in their school. Additionally, the detailed illustrations and directions for the characters' inventions and methods are cute and interactive, setting this book apart from many others on the market." - The BookLife Prize "Super amazingly awesome and easy to get lost in." -completely unbiased 12-year-old daughter of the author From the Author Middle school is a time when the world gets so much more complicated. It's no secret that girls tend to lose their confidence at this age more than any other time in their lives. Though, in aggregate, girls consistently score at or above the scores of boys in the hard science, they statistically abandon those very STEM pursuits in huge numbers during the middle school years. The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club was founded to encourage girls to pursue their love of STEM. The fiction books are aimed at providing positive role models for girls as they enter this tenuous time in their lives. And provide some fun, interactive, hands-on DIY within the context of a great story! These characters aren't superheros or undiscovered geniuses, they are kids that modern girls can relate to, who face some of the very real challenges girls their age face. The Renegades struggle, learn skills and the joys of making and inventing, and persist in their dreams. These books pass along some fun science tidbits, actual hands-on inventing projects, and present some really amazing women from history, with engaging plots and charming characters. Plus, the books are a darn good read. About the Author In 1996, Terri left Colorado, where she grew up, and headed even more West until she couldn't get any West-er. Landing in San Francisco, she earned herself a productive career in 3D character animation making video games, films, and television shows (but mostly video games.) Her career spanned more than a decade in character animation, art direction, and story development before she had children and, imagining a better world for them, co-founded the Renegade Girls Tinkering Club with her friend Vicky in 2015. She lives in San Francisco with 2 rowdy children and a fabulous, brilliant husband who brings her tea every night.
