3.0

I will start out by saying that I bought this book because my friend has a story in it. It's called "The Robotics Badge" and it's great. Read it.

The common thread between the stories in this anthology is that they feature teenage girls involved in a tech discipline. There are a wide variety of settings including a 19th-century spy caper, a Mad Max-style drag race, a sci-fi Wizard of Oz retelling, and a teenage girl presenting her scientific findings to NASA. The stories vary in quality from "so bad that I'm actually mad that I read it" to "so good that I teared up at the end" so I averaged it for a 3-star rating.
