The Matilda Effect

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Matilda loves science and inventing. Her heroes are Marie Curie, Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison, and one day she wants to be a famous inventor herself. So when she doesn’t win the school science fair, she’s devastated – especially as the judges didn’t believe she’d come up with her entry on her own. Because she’s a girl.

When Matilda shares her woes with her Grandma Joss, she’s astonished to learn her grandma was once a scientist herself – an astrophysicist who discovered her very own planet, only for her boss to steal the credit. And he’s about to be awarded a Nobel Prize for it.

Matilda concocts a plan: they’ll crash the award ceremony and tell everyone the truth! A race against time through Paris, Hamburg and Stockholm, packed with humour and girl power.
