Ingenious Edie, Master Inventor of Tiny Town - Hardcover

by Patrick Corrigan (Author)

A charming, witty picture book about wacky inventions and working together.

"Girl-power, engineering and community action, all wrapped up in a miniature world. Marvellous!"
-Caryl Hart, author of Girls Can do Anything

"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."
-Kate Pankhurst, creator of Fantastically Great Women series

Edie may be tiny, but she's the most brilliant inventor! Her inventions, such as her potato powered streetlight and fan-powered bus have helped transform the lives of everyone who lives in Tiny Town. Edie's inventions are always the biggest kept secret, and she certainly doesn't need any help. Afterall, everyone knows that the best inventors do it all by themselves, right? But when Edie can't find a way to solve her biggest problem yet - Michael, a wily magpie with a penchant for other people's things - she must find a way to work with the whole of Tiny Town to stop the thief.
