Comment:
This book is unusual in terms of presenting a main girl character who is so interested in scientific and mechanical matters. Izzy’s failures in terms of her inventions are not deemed important by the narrative voice and are in fact suggested as necessary, as Izzy is presented as being frustrated with her work, while her grandfather encourages her resilience.
