Even better than the first one. While not every kid knows an uncle who flies away in his helium pants, many kids are curious, feel overwhelmed, and have problems to solve. My boys have loved every book in this series so far, and I'm sure they'll love this one too.

Exactly what I have come to expect from Beaty. The educational value of these fun and vibrantly illustrated stories is an excellent resource for children all around.

While the story is rather far-fetched—an uncle flying around untethered in helium filled pants and in need of rescue by Ada Twist’s savvy science—it is a simple page-turner for young readers. As another reviewer pointed out though, featuring super smart kids and super dumb adults is wearing thin—at least for me. Back matter is forthcoming and I hope it emphasizes and reinforces science concepts.

Beaty's previous picture books are a delight. My students love the stories and the idea that individual students have their own tales,
Ada is a child scientist whose sense of curiosity and love of science is apparent, When her Uncle Ned, who joyously wears his helium pants, flies away, Ada must figure out how to get him back. Students are able to identify with her need for explanation through science and experimentation.
In the Stem era this book is especially relevant. How pleased my readers will be with the author's segue into chapter books.

Ada is a great role model for young scientists, and the book is fun to read and super cute. I am happy that Ada is now appearing in chapter books.

Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants is a cute book filled with great information. Ada is a young scientist whose mind is overflowing with questions and answers, but no logical way of explaining things so others can understand her. When her friend's uncle is in trouble, Ada has possible solutions, if she could only find a way to get her thoughts in order. Many people, young and old, can relate to Ada. I loved the fact Beaty included the Great Backyard Bird Count in this story. As nice as the story is, I found Ada quite annoying with her "Zowie" expression and it's another story where adults are inept and the day is saved by a child. Yes, it's a children's book, but many of the adults in the book would have better reactions to Uncle Ned's cries for help. Overall, a cute, quick read and I am sure lots of children will enjoy reading about Ada's adventures.

Thank you NetGalley and Amulet Books for the opportunity to read an advance reader copy.

Another great Ada Twist story. Our younger patrons love her books. We're happy to add this one to our collection.
