What's it about?
MacGyver meets the Babysitter's Club in these charming books about growing up and loving science, technology, engineering, and math.
"This set of books would be excellent in a school library as a resource for empowering young girls to go into technology (STEM) subjects. Well- written, fast paced, with plenty of drama." Primary school teacher, aged 59
The Renegade Girls Tinkering Club DIY Adventures are filled with:
- illustrated, buildable hand's-on DIY projects
- science and engineering processes to apply to everyday life challenges
- great characters today's girls can connect with
- fun stories with lots of hyjinx
- science and engineering facts, and
- famous women role models
The members of the Renegade Girls Tinkering Club faces many of the same problems today's 8-12 year old girls face on their journey to becoming STEM professionals (or just curious girls who love working with their hands). The Renegades may not always succeed the first time they try something, but with enough support, flexibility, and perseverance, they'll figure it out. Together.
Book one: The Renegade Spy Project
Wren is impulsive, curious, and always in trouble. Can her flaws become her greatest asset?
Wren Sterling has a problem. She knows she's super smart and a good friend, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake her reputation as a troublemaker. It feels like the only people who believe in her are her three best friends in the Renegade Girls Tinkering Club. She’d hoped middle school would be different, but when her inability to control her temper causes an accident, even her beloved STEM Club is no longer a safe haven.
She has to find a way to fix it. When her idea to start a business inventing and selling spy gadgets succeeds, it looks like she's finally done something right! But then the Club is accused of a crime. Can they use their own gadgets, and a little bit of trouble to solve the mystery? If they can find the real culprit, Wren may just discover she has a bright future after all. If they can’t, she could lose her best friends forever.
Build your own SPY GADGETS! Instructions included in this charming story about friendship, middle school, and the Engineering Design Process for kids ages 10-12.
Never underestimate a scientist in a fancy dress.
Why do people think sixth-grade scientist Amber Rosenberg can’t be smart and fashionable at the same time? Maybe by winning an internship at the hottest boutique in town, she’ll prove she can. Competition may be fierce, but so is she.
Too young? Too much homework? Sabotaged by wild lunatic squirrels—or something more sinister? Amber’s got it covered. No one knows the science and engineering behind fashion like she does, and she has the best inventors at Ada Lovelace Charter School at her side, the Renegade Girls Tinkering Club.
But when a research project unexpectedly reveals fashion’s dirty environmental secret, Amber must rethink what it means to win. Does she want to stand out, or stand up for what's right?
The Science Channel meets Project Runway Junior in this charming story about friendship, the scientific method, and our impact on the world.
Book three: The Renegade Success Plan

When she gets the opportunity to meet her idol at Ada Lovelace Charter School’s Career Week, she’ll do anything to impress her.
