Age 3+
Picture Storybooks
A charming, witty picture book about wacky inventions and working together.
On a tiny street, in a tiny town, lives a tiny inventor called Edie. She’s always coming up with clever new contraptions and game-changing gizmos. But Edie’s inventions are always top secret, and she certainly doesn’t need any help. After all, everyone knows that the best inventors do it all by themselves, don’t they? But when Edie can’t find a way to solve her biggest problem yet – a mischievous magpie with a penchant for pilfering other people’s things – she must find a way to work with the whole town to stop the thief.

Girl-power, engineering and community action, all wrapped up in a miniature world. Marvellous!
Bright spark Edie is sure to inspire young tinkerers and inventors small (and big) as they get lost in a world of imagination, gorgeously surprising illustration details and some super smart girl-powered ideas.
