Lynn Plourde tickles me, almost always. Her newest book introduces us to a girl named Ima Kindanozee. I love the name. Ima lives up to her last name.

It's science fair project day at school and all the kids have brought in some amazing projects. Ima has to ask questions and get all nosy and she usually ends up making the project have a problem in some way and the student has to fix it. The teacher never tells Ima to stop touching projects and let them be, but its still cute and amusing. I can see the Nephew loving Ima if he were to read this a few years ago. She also is sort of her own force of nature, more destructive than productive in many ways.

All goes well with the story and the end is happy. The results are good and all the kids seem delighted. Ima is great at asking questions. She needs a job that asking questions is essential like a journalist or a product tester. Anyway. Cute story. Thanks Lynn.

This was a cute look at some of the various options for science projects. Ima is inquisitive and curious, but the end was slightly disappointing. Ima's kind of documented questioning is a huge asset in STEM fields, but instead of the teacher getting her to harness that for science, she ends up as a journalist. Obviously this isn't a bad field, but it would have been more fitting with the science theme of the book if Ima had found her way into science.
