Description

Ellie, a young girl who loves inventing and building, decides to construct a doghouse as a gift. She must overcome a neighborhood feud between boys and girls to get help with her project. The book follows her efforts to build the doghouse while navigating the conflict.

Quick Summary

Ellie is a girl inventor who refuses to let a silly boys-versus-girls neighborhood feud stop her from building the perfect doghouse, and her determination to ask the rival side for help makes for a fresh, inspiring story. Kids will cheer for Ellie's clever inventions, laugh at the ridiculous feud, and feel her confidence grow as she proves that teamwork beats rivalry every time. If your kid loves "Rosie Revere, Engineer" or the "Ivy + Bean" series, they'll absolutely adore Ellie's clever problem-solving and spunky attitude. Perfect for kids ages 6-9 in kindergarten through third grade who enjoy stories about smart, resourceful kids who never give up.
